Following numerous stabbings in Scotland, one woman has passed away and two others have suffered critical injuries.
At 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Stirling police were called to a disturbance at a residential care facility on Craighall Street.
Staff were spotted running away from the incident as armed officers stormed the facility, a witness recalled.
The Sun stated that the 54-year-old caregiver was at work when a weak patient allegedly attacked her.
She was taken emergency care and later passed away at Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
Two other women, both believed to be carers, aged 29 and 58, were injured in the attack.
A witness, who did not want to be named, said: ‘The lady who died was a carer. It was quite frightening. The other two injured were also carers.
‘One of them came out and one of them had towels wrapped around their arm. Police and ambulances came down, the police had their guns out.’
Police have now arrested a woman and have charged her in connection with the incident.
The 32-year-old is scheduled to appear at Stirling Sheriff Court tomorrow.
Detective Inspector Scott Roxburgh said: ‘At this time, our thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased, along with everyone else involved in this incident.
‘We’d like to thank the local community for their patience and understanding as officers carry out enquiries in the area.’
