HIGH POINT, N.C. — Two people have been taken into custody in relation to an assault with a deadly weapon that occurred at 2305 Friends Avenue at 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday, the High Point Police Department said.
Officials say a 16-year old black female, is in juvenile detention in relation to the incident. The other suspect, Mekhia Maas, 20, is in the Guilford County jail in High Point and being held on a $20,000 bond.
WFMY spoke with T'Ziah Rorie, the victim in the incident. Rorie, 20, says she was stabbed multiple times. Rorie claims there's been a long-standing tiff with the suspect. She said the Christmas Eve incident occurred because of a public argument during dinner at a restaurant where the suspect worked, which escalated to the front of Rorie's home.
One of Rorie's friend's called 911 while another tried to drive her to the hospital.
A High Point Police officer en route to the scene saw the victim calling help from a vehicle.
Once at the hospital and officers were able to speak to the 20-year-old female victim, it was noted that the victim received a laceration to their left knee, left forearm, left upper forearm, two lacerations to the front left thigh and one laceration to the back left thigh. She was treated for her non-life threatening wounds and is in stable condition, according to police.
The arrest was made within hours of the assault as a result of the victim and witness to the assault cooperating with HPPD.
The investigation is still ongoing.
WFMY will continue to keep this story updated.
