The identities of the two were not disclosed as of press time.<\/p>\n
Police spokesman Eric F. David said yesterday that at about 5:43pm, the DPS received a call from an unidentified male reporting a disturbance at the Wooden Restaurant along Middle Road Chalan Lau Lau by the Marianas Repair Shop.<\/p>\n
David said a responding officer arrived at the scene about five minutes later and saw the two Chinese nationals along the roadway, with the female lying on the ground.<\/p>\n
\u201c[The] officer found out that the Chinese female was stabbed several times in the chest and stomach area,\u201d David said.<\/p>\n
Medics were immediately dispatched to the scene and transported the victim to the Commonwealth Health Center for further treatment.<\/p>\n
