A 6-year-old child is dead and another teenager is injured after an adult stabbed her to death in Dallas on Thursday, police say.

Officials were called shortly before 2:00 p.m. to stab an apartment on the 2900 block of Frazier Street, southeast of Fair Park.

A woman who lived in the residence said she ran to a neighbor for help in arresting the woman and they were able to hold her.

The neighbor then took the injured 6-year-old girl to a nearby fire station. The paramedics from the Dallas Fire Rescue took her to a hospital, where she died, the police said.

The teenage boy, whose age is not yet known, has also been hospitalized and is said to be in stable condition.
