Naperville Woman Stabbed By Son Remains In Hospital

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A Naperville woman remains in intensive care after her son allegedly stabbed her when she offered to make him a sandwich.

Prosecutors say Alexander Georg stabbed his mother repeatedly in the chest and neck Thursday afternoon in front of their Naperville home.

He has been charged with attempted murder, and a judge set bond at $1.5 million.

Detectives say the crime was so vicious that the butcher knife snapped, and that the stabbing only stopped when his mother played dead.
