A Greenville woman is now in custody after surrendering to law enforcement following the issuance of a warrant in connection with a stabbing incident earlier this week. According to Greenville Police, the woman—whose identity has not yet been released pending further investigation—turned herself in after officers issued charges relating to a violent altercation that left at least one person injured.
Authorities say the incident occurred on Friday in a residential neighborhood in Greenville, prompting a rapid police response. When officers arrived, they found a victim suffering from stab wounds. First responders transported the injured person to ECU Health Medical Center, where they were treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Police secured the scene, collected physical evidence and began interviewing witnesses, ultimately issuing a warrant for the suspect’s arrest.
Police reports indicate the stabbing stemmed from an argument that escalated into physical violence. Investigators believe the individuals involved knew each other, and the incident is being treated as an isolated event rather than a threat to the wider community.
According to Greenville PD, the victim was able to provide information that helped officers identify the suspect early in the case. Following the issuance of an arrest warrant, the woman contacted authorities and voluntarily surrendered at the Pitt County Detention Center.
The charges she now faces may include:
Assault with a deadly weapon inflicting injury
Possession or use of a dangerous weapon
Potential domestic-related charges
Additional criminal counts pending review by the District Attorney’s Office
Officers emphasize that while the victim’s injuries are not considered life-threatening, cases involving knives often result in severe physical trauma and emotional distress, making thorough investigation essential.
News of the stabbing has raised concerns among residents, especially given similar incidents reported across eastern North Carolina in recent months. Greenville Police have increased patrols in the area and are urging community members to report any signs of escalating disputes before they turn violent.
The incident also highlights the rise in domestic and interpersonal conflicts that turn deadly or near-deadly due to the presence of weapons. Police stress that early intervention—calling 911, contacting crisis services, or requesting welfare checks—can prevent tragedies.
As of now, the Greenville Police Department has not released additional details about the events leading up to the stabbing or the relationship between the involved parties. Detectives are continuing to gather witness statements, review neighborhood surveillance footage, and evaluate forensic evidence.

Violent incidents such as stabbings often leave deep emotional, physical and financial scars on victims and families. While criminal charges hold offenders accountable, many survivors are unaware that they may also have civil legal rights allowing them to pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, emotional trauma, pain and suffering, and long-term recovery costs.
