According to the Beltrami County Sheriff’s Office, at about 12:30 p.m., the Beltrami County 911 dispatch center received a report of a domestic violence incident that resulted in two adults — one man and one woman — being stabbed at a home in the 2000 block of Whiting Road Northwest, located in Northern Township.

The caller, the male victim of the stabbing, told police that an ex-girlfriend had forcibly entered the home and stabbed him and the woman resident of the home. He added that the suspect fled the residence in a vehicle and was able to provide the vehicle’s description.
