SYRACUSE -- Syracuse police say a woman was stabbed three times after she hit a teen with her fists who was trying to steal her vehicle from a parking lot behind the Domino's Pizza on Harvard Place.
Police say the 27-year-old woman was approached by a male, who stabbed her with a knife twice in the neck and behind one ear. She was taken to Upstate University Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. She was not identified.
