BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — On Friday night, the Boston Police officers responded to an incident where a woman allegedly hit her ex-boyfriend with her car and then stabbed him in the abdomen afterwards on Manchester Street.
Boston Police said 27-year-old Lashonda Warner of Mattapan was ordered to be held on a $5,000 bail for her two charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (in this case, a car and knife) as well as the charge of leaving the scene of an accident after causing personal injury. Warner was also ordered to keep away and have no contact with the 28-year-old victim
Arriving officers say that when they found the victim bleeding from a stab wound in the abdomen, he refused to be cooperative with the police investigation. Police say they followed a trail of blood to find a pink folding knife covered in blood on the road. As of Tuesday, the victim is still in emergency care at Boston Medical Center, officials said.
A nearby witness told authorities that a silver Honda Accord had made a three-point turn, hitting two vehicles and the victim in the process.

State Police say they pulled over a vehicle that matched the description on I-93 North near exit 15B and noticed that there was blood on the front of the grille. Warner was the driver of that vehicle and allegedly admitted to police that she had struck and stabbed the victim after he "had informed her he was being unfaithful."
“The actions people take when they receive unwelcome news can make a bad situation much worse for everyone involved, as is the case here. This woman’s actions have had a dramatic impact on her life and the victim’s,” Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden said in a statement.
Warner is due back in court on March 24.
