Officers responded to a report of a woman being “stabbed in the neck with a pair of scissors,” police said.

Officers provided the woman with medical care, then she was taken to a hospital, police said, adding that she is expected to survive.
Through an investigation, officers identified the woman’s sister as a suspect, police said.
Officers learned the woman was getting a haircut from her sister “when, without provocation,” the sister “broke a wine glass and stabbed the victim in the neck with the broken glass,” according to police.
