A 20-year-old Joliet woman was stabbed in her sleep with butcher knife by her boyfriend early Monday morning.
She was sleeping in her fifth-floor residence of the Evergreen Terrace housing units when Antonio P. Lawrence, 23, of Harvey, began stabbing her, according to Sun-Times Media.
The attack was unprovoked, police said, and the man stabbed her repeatedly before running out of the apartment.
The woman suffered several wounds to her face and body. She was hospitalized and is expected to survive, according to the Sun-Times.
Meanwhile, the man went the police station and sat on a bench in the lobby. He had a knife next time him, police said, and has been arrested for attempted murder.
“He wouldn’t speak to the clerk at the desk who saw he was covered in blood,' Joliet police commander Brian Benton said. 'Officers came in and took him into custody.'
