Woman stabs boyfriend, runs to roof at Near Northside apartment complex, police say

HOUSTON – A woman was taken into custody Tuesday after a standoff at an apartment complex in Houston’s Near Northside neighborhood.

Police said the woman stabbed her boyfriend around 3 a.m. at a home in the 2900 block of Fulton Street, near Halpern Street and then went out a window onto an awning over the first floor of the building.  

The man suffered non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

SWAT officers and negotiators were called to the scene just before 9 a.m., according to a tweet from the Houston Police Department.

Sky 2 video showed officers walk up a ramp to the awning and take the woman into custody about 10 a.m.

The video appeared to show the woman yelling, "I'm not crazy," as she was placed on a gurney and then put into an ambulance.

Police said she will face charges of aggravated assault.
