"And then she was mumbling," the woman said. "She said, 'Help me. Help me.' She came struggling down the steps. I told her, 'I called the ambulance. Hold on stay there.' She was like, 'My sons. My sons.' I was like, 'I have them. I have them. They're safe.'"
All three victims were taken to Frankford Torresdale Hospital. The woman is in critical condition while both boys are stable.
Shortly before 5:30 p.m., police confirmed with NBC10 that a man attempted to turn himself in to Northeast Detectives at the 15th District headquarters in relation to the stabbing. He was then transported to the hospital where he was identified as the suspect.
