Three Women Stabbed In 'Big Fight' On Northwest Side

CHICAGO (STMW) -- One person was arrested Monday evening after a large fight left three women stabbed in the Hermosa neighborhood on the Northwest Side.

The "big fight" happened in the 1900 block of North Karlov Avenue about 6 p.m., police News Affairs Officer Ron Gaines said.

Three women, all in their 20s, were stabbed, but their injuries are not considered to be life-threatening, Gaines said.
