One person dead following stabbing incident in Ohio

OHIO — A woman has been charged after a fight on a Metro bus ended in a stabbing Wednesday afternoon, according to the Akron Police Department.

Officers were called around 3:45 p.m. on September 10 to the 500 block of East Market Street following reports of a stabbing. Upon arrival, they found a 23-year-old woman on the sidewalk across from Summa Health Akron. A Summa Health police officer was already providing aid by applying pressure to her wounds.

Investigators said the incident began as an altercation between two women on a Metro bus. After both exited the bus, 34-year-old Chavella Dorris allegedly charged at the victim and stabbed her several times.

The victim was taken to a hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Dorris was arrested at the scene, and police recovered a box cutter from her purse. She has been charged with felonious assault and is being held at the Summit County Jail.

Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact the Akron Police Department Detective Bureau at 330-375-2490 or 330-375-2Tip. Anonymous tips can also be submitted through Summit County Crimestoppers at 330-434-COPS, via text to TIPSCO at 274637, or through the Akron PD app.
