PITTSBURGH, PA — Two people are in police custody after authorities said they stabbed a woman in the neck at Point State Park in Pittsburgh.

Authorities said officers were called to the riverwalk on the Monongahela River side of Point State Park shortly after 9:45 p.m. for a reported stabbing. When officers arrived, they found a woman who had been "slashed in the neck with a sharp object," police said.

Medics took the woman to the hospital where she was in stable condition, authorities said.
