Two women suffered life-threatening injuries and a man was wounded in a stabbing at a Fort Lauderdale house Monday night, according to police.

In what police are saying is a “domestic disturbance,” the knife attack happened at a home located at the 2700 block of SW Sixth Drive around 8:25 p.m., said Detective Ali Adamson, with Fort Lauderdale police.

Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue paramedics then took the victims, two of whom are now fighting for their lives, to Broward Medical Center.

The person suspected of stabbing the people left the scene before police arrived, Adamson added.
