BOSTON — A 32-year-old Dorchester woman was arrested Tuesday morning in connection with a stabbing near a Mattapan bus stop.
Kimberly Murray-Moore was taken into custody at approximately 5:40 a.m. after officers responded to a report of a stabbing in the area of Morton Street and Blue Hill Avenue.
Police found an adult female victim near the District B-3 station on Rhodes Street suffering from an apparent stab wound.
Boston EMS transported the victim to a local hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
A preliminary investigation revealed the victim had been waiting at a nearby bus stop when she was approached and assaulted by an unknown individual.
The suspect fled toward Morton Street and Blue Hill Avenue.
Officers located Murray-Moore at a gas station near the intersection of Morton Street and Blue Hill Avenue based on a description provided.
She attempted to crouch behind a vehicle to avoid detection but was quickly taken into custody.
During the arrest, Murray-Moore actively resisted and assaulted two officers by striking one in the chest and the other in the face.
Neither officer sustained injuries.
Murray-Moore was transported to District D-4, where she initially refused to be processed.
She will be arraigned in Dorchester District Court on charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault and battery on a police officer, and resisting arrest.
Murray-Moore also faces a warrant for assault with a dangerous weapon issued by Dorchester District Court on June 23 stemming from a separate incident.
