Man Who Stabbed Female Cousins in Lansdale Sentenced

LANSDALE, PA -- A man who stabbed two female cousins in the borough in 2015 has been sentenced to 15 to 30 years in prison, according to court documents.

Dominic Shareef Burrage-Pressley, 29, of Philadelphia, was convicted of two counts of felony aggravated assault in the April 15, 2015 incident.

Sometime in the morning of April 15, two females, aged 22 and 26, were allegedly attacked by Burrage-Pressley, who authorities believe may have been in a relationship with the 22-year-old, police said.

The couple became involved in an argument at their Oakwood Garden Apartments residence and the older
cousin came to investigate. The younger cousin cried out for help, and that was when the stabbings began, police said.

Police said they arrived on the scene at 8:40 a.m.

An Upper Gwynedd officer shortly thereafter found the suspect barricaded inside a bathroom at the Lansdale Train Station, police said.

\Burrage-Pressley allegedly had bad injuries to his hands from the conflict.
