Police arrest woman in alleged stabbing assault

Nassau police arrested a 55-year-old Hempstead woman after she allegedly stabbed a 61-year-old male friend in the arm at her home.

Jacqueline Granger, of West Columbia Street, was arrested at the scene without incident, police said. The victim, who was not named by police, was transported to a nearby hospital for a larceration on his upper left arm, police said.
