A 15-year-old female is accused of stabbing two people at Fransiah African Braids in Wilmington earlier this month, according to Delaware State Police. The incident occurred around 4:30 p.m. on June 7 at the salon located on the 3900 block of North Market Street.
During the altercation, the teenager threw items inside the business before taking a pair of scissors from a hairdresser and entering a restroom. Moments later, she exited the restroom and confronted the stylist while threatening her with the scissors. After a verbal confrontation escalated into physical violence, the teen stabbed the hairdresser multiple times. A bystander who attempted to intervene and restrain the teenager was also stabbed during the incident.
Both victims were taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Police stated that responding troopers found the teenager outside the business and took her into custody without incident. She was arraigned by Justice of the Peace Court 11 and committed to the Department of Services for Children, Youth, and Their Families on a $10,100 secured bond.
