SCHENECTADY – A Watervliet woman has been arrested, accused of stabbing a woman in the neck late Tuesday in Schenectady, authorities said.
The victim was taken to Albany Medical Center with what police described as a non-life-threatening injury.
Charged in the case is Rachel A. Anigian, 21, of Western Avenue. She faces one count of first-degree assault, a felony, and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, a misdemeanor.
Anigian is accused of stabbing the 22-year-old victim in the “neck/throat area” at about 10:39 p.m. Tuesday in the area of Broadway and Weaver Street, police said. She is accused of using an unknown type of knife, according to police allegations filed in court.
