Warwick Police investigated the report of a stabbing and ended up arresting the alleged stabbing victim.

At 5:27 p.m., Sept. 21, Warwick Police went to 1 Willow Glen Circle for “a reported stabbing,” according to a press release.

“Officers located the resident, Anna Pereira, age 32, with superficial wounds to her arms and leg,” according to police.

A 48-year-old man was also found at the location. He was detained and briefly questioned, according to police.

The man was “also injured during the disturbance, sustaining an edema to the head and other injuries from being struck by a baseball bat and other objects,” according to police. “He declined medical attention from Warwick Fire EMS at the scene.”

Pereira was transported to Rhode Island Hospital to receive treatment for her injuries and was later released into police custody.

“The investigation established that Ms. Pereira’s injuries were self-inflicted,” police wrote in the Sept. 21 press release. “She is being held for a special arraignment for Assault with a dangerous weapon and disorderly conduct.”
