A woman was left critically injured early Monday after being stabbed inside a home near 83rd and Glendale avenues in Glendale, and police took a man into custody at the scene. Officers were called out just after midnight to reports of a domestic-violence incident, and arrived to find the woman suffering from stab wounds.
According to AZ Family, Glendale police discovered the woman had been stabbed after responding to the call, and she was rushed to a hospital with critical injuries. The man believed to be connected to the stabbing did not flee and stayed at the scene, where he was taken into custody, the outlet reported.
What Police Have — and Haven't — Said
Details beyond the basic sequence of events remain scarce. The investigation into the stabbing remains ongoing, and no further specifics about what led up to the attack have been made public.
Authorities did offer one measure of reassurance to neighbors near 83rd and Glendale avenues: they said the incident appears to be isolated and does not pose a threat to the public. 12 News also reported on the critical injuries suffered by the woman in what it described as a domestic-violence incident in Glendale.
Second Violent Stabbing in Glendale in Weeks
Monday's incident comes less than three weeks after AZ Family reported that a man was killed after being stabbed outside a Glendale corner market in late September, underscoring a string of violent incidents in the city this fall. That earlier case and Monday's stabbing are separate investigations, but both point to a recent spike in knife violence reported in the area.
Domestic violence remains a persistent and deadly problem across the state. Maricopa County noted that, according to ACESDV, 71 Arizonans were killed in domestic-violence-related homicides in 2025, with 70% of those deaths occurring in Maricopa County. The Arizona Department of Health Services has separately reported that, since the start of 2020, an average of two Arizonans have died every week from causes directly related to domestic violence.
No additional information has been released about potential charges against the man in custody, and it has not been confirmed whether he remains held. Glendale police have not said whether the investigation will yield further arrests or additional details about what sparked the violence.
