PHILIPSBURG--A woman was stabbed multiple times by an intruder after he gained access to her house on Back Street at 6:00am Monday.
While sleeping the woman heard strange noises outside her room. She came out and saw a man with a knife demanding cash from her.
She pleaded with the robber and told him that she did not have any cash on her, but that he could inspect her purse to verify this. The intruder stabbed the woman multiple times out of rage and ran out of the house.
The woman’s children were sleeping at the time of the incident and were awakened by their mother’s screams. The police and paramedics were called immediately and she was treated on the scene, then transported to St. Maarten Medical Center where she remains in stable condition.
