A man was arrested in Sanger for repeatedly stabbing a woman, including at least once in the head, police said Tuesday.
Police were called to a home near P and 12th streets, west of Academy Avenue, around 11:20 p.m. Monday after a caller reported a woman bleeding from the head, police said.
Officers arrived to find the 32-year-old with multiple stab wounds. She was bleeding heavily from the wounds, police said.
She was taken to an area hospital and was expected to survive, according to police.
