A woman in custody following the "random" stabbing of a 1-year-old boy in Philadelphia was formally charged Sunday with attempted murder, the district attorney's spokesperson said.
Takeira Hester, 29, was arrested after a backpack left at the scene of the attack led authorities to her, authorities have said.
Philadelphia police called her both a person of interest and a suspect, but Dustin M. Slaughter, a spokesperson for the Philadelphia district attorney, said she has now been charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and "related charges."
The case alleges "three assaults," he said, declining to elaborate.
The boy's twin was riding in the same double stroller and appeared to be targeted but unharmed, police said.
