A 17-year-old has been charged with aggravated battery causing great bodily harm following the stabbing of a 20-year-old woman in the Englewood neighborhood on Chicago's South Side, according to information from the Chicago Police Department as reported by FOX32 Chicago. The incident occurred before 6:00 p.m. on Friday in the 0-100 block of W. 69th Street; however, authorities have withheld the teen suspect's identity due to their minor status.

Close on the heels of the attack, the teenager was apprehended, it's been reported—the arrest taking place minutes after the young woman suffered severe injuries from the altercation, in the same Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood, details shared by CBS News Chicago. Although charged with a felony count, complexities cloud our understanding of what provoked the incident, as police have yet to release information regarding what led to the stabbing.
