Three women were stabbed, and a 32-year-old Placentia woman was behind bars today in an assault over a "break-up" between two 12- year-olds, police said.
Diana Rodriguez, 32, was heading to Whitten Community Center at 900 S. Melrose St., near Melrose Elementary School, to pick up her 12-year-old son about 2:40 p.m. Monday, according to Placentia police Sgt. Ken Alexander.
Some of the children at the center, which provides day care, were apparently making comments about Rodriguez' son and his 12-year-old "girlfriend" who had broken up with him, Alexander said. Three women related to the girl confronted Rodriguez, and a fight broke out, Alexander said.
Rodriguez drew a Spyderco knife with a 4-inch serrated blade and stabbed the three women, according to Alexander.
Two victims were taken to UCI Medical Center, one stabbed four times and the other twice, Alexander said. The other victim, who was stabbed in the leg, was taken to Placentia-Linda Hospital. All were expected to survive.
Alexander said prosecutors were expected to file charges today, which could be for attempted murder, but at minimum were expected to be for assault with a deadly weapon. Rodriguez was being held on $75,000 bail.
