A news release and update from the Portland Police Bureau follows about morning mayhem in Mid-county’s Glenfair neighborhood:

“On Sunday March 14th, at approximately 1:20 a.m., Portland Police Officers responded to the 14700 block of E. Burnside St. on a report of a stabbing. Officers arrived and encountered a male subject leaving the area. The subject was detained and later determined to be the assailant.

“Officers also discovered an adult female with multiple stab wounds. The female was transported to an area hospital. Her condition is unknown at this time, however, the wounds are serious. It appears the the victim and the suspect knew each other. Detectives responded to the incident and began an investigation. This investigation is currently ongoing.  We hope to additional information later today as the investigation progresses.
