The Mansfield Police Department responded to a report of a knife attack on Hedges St, which resulted in one injury. The Mansfield Fire Department also responded to the scene. Scanner traffic indicated that the victim sustained a facial cut, believed to be non-life-threatening. A suspect, described as a female with gray hair, was reportedly inside an apartment. The Mansfield Police Department made entry, but no arrest was reported. Two males were detained, handcuffed, and placed in separate police cruisers before being released. The reason for their detention is unclear, given that the suspect was described as female. When contacted for clarification on whether or not they caught the suspect or if there was a nut running around with a knife, the Mansfield Police Department stated that the investigation is ongoing and details cannot be released. Nevertheless, a reliable source confirmed that there is no ongoing threat to the public from an individual wielding a knife.
