Around 8:30 a.m. a 24-year-old woman suffered stab wounds to her chest and finger on the 1300 block of Chancellor Street, WTXF-TV reported.
A few hours later, a mother and father were walking with their twins using a stroller outside Temple Beth Zion-Beth Israel when police said a woman rushed up and stabbed one of the children, the station said.
“It looked like this female just rushed up to them and nothing was said – completely random,” Philadelphia Police Capt. Frank Banford told reporters Saturday, according to the Post. “[She] tried to stab both children but got one child…in each arm.”
The children’s father ran after the attacker, who got away but left behind a bag that contained enough clues to help cops track her down, Banford told the paper.
Philadelphia police told Blaze News they arrested Hester around 7:19 p.m. Saturday in the 400 block of North 63rd Street and charged her with attempted murder, aggravated assault, possession of instruments of crime, and recklessly endangering another person.
Both stabbing victims — the 24-year-old woman and the 1-year-old boy — reportedly were in stable condition, WTXF said.
Banford told the Post that Hester used a “long knife” in both Philadelphia attacks.
Hester was being held on $4 million bail, WCAU reported.
What else? New York City authorities had a warrant out for Hester’s arrest after she skipped her Thursday hearing in Manhattan Criminal Court in connection with the 2022 assault case, prosecutors told the Post.
