Mother Stabs Daughter In Warminster Apartment: Police

WARMINSTER, PA —A mother has been charged with aggravated assault after stabbing her daughter in her left arm during an incident Friday in the Rosewood Court Apartments complex, police said.

Warminster Police responded at 11:01 a.m. Friday to Rosewood Court Apartments, 345 E. County Line Rd., for a report of a woman stabbed by her mother.

The victim told police that she was stabbed by her mother, 46-year-old Rebecca Ann Watson, with the stab wound about two inches into the woman's arm. She was taken to the hospital for treatment.

Police then spoke to a man who said that Watson was sitting on the couch in the apartment's living room when she got up and stated "I'm going to kill you today," at which point Watson pulled out a knife.

The man said he fled to a back bedroom when Watson came into the back bedroom and began trying to stab him, police said.

Police said the daughter got between Watson and the man and then was stabbed by her mother. A 2-year-old child was also around where the stabbing took place.

Police recovered the knife and also found Watson hiding in the building's laundry room where she was taken into custody.

Watson was charged with aggravated assault and arraigned before District Justice Chris O'Neill, where she was sent to Bucks County Prison in lieu of 10 percent of $200,000 bail.
