A woman is facing an attempted murder charge after an elderly woman was stabbed multiple times during an alleged domestic violence incident in Torrington last month.
Danielle Van Doren, 46, was arrested on an active warrant and charged with criminal attempt to commit murder and first-degree assault of an elderly person, according to the Torrington Police Department.
The charges are related to an alleged domestic violence incident that occurred around 12:47 p.m. on Aetna Avenue on Nov. 11. Officers responded to a residence on the report of a stabbing and found a woman suffering from multiple stab wounds, police said.
The woman was treated at the scene by officers and medics before being taken to Saint Mary’s Hospital. According to police, the woman’s injuries were not life-threatening and she has since been released from the hospital.
Van Doren, who was taken into custody on Monday, was being held on a $1 million court-set bond and was scheduled to be arraigned in Torrington Superior Court.
