BURLINGTON, N.C. — A woman is in critical condition and undergoing emergency surgery after being stabbed in Burlington Saturday morning. 

Police said they responded to Club Mamba on Corporation Parkway just after 2 a.m. after getting reports of a large crowd at a business.

When officers arrived, they said they found 22-year-old Aniah Tyshae Love and 26-year-old Tkeyah Simone Harrelson fighting. 

Police said Harrelson took out a knife and started stabbing Love multiple times before taking off into the crowd. 

An officer on the scene began treating Love for injuries when police say Harrelson returned and started to stab Love again. The officer responding was also struck in the process, according to a news release.
