Police say a woman was stabbed by a man who she knows, and the man is not in custody as of Tuesday night.

A witness at the scene told WCCO he tried to help the woman stop bleeding from multiple stab wounds. He said he found the woman laying in front of her home, bleeding from the neck and stomach.

"She was bleeding from a lot of places, so we just grabbed the spots that were bleeding the worst and instantly covered it and held it as tight as we could," witness Tyrone Houston said, "But we couldn't stop the bleeding. And there was other spots she was cut in but we didn't have enough garment to cover that also."

She was taken to a hospital, and her condition is not known as of late Tuesday night.
