MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Two sisters accused of stabbing each other during a fight in front of five small children are in jail in Wisconsin pending criminal charges.

The Madison Police Department says officers were dispatched to a residence just after noon Saturday after one woman reported she had been stabbed. The officers arrived to find two “uncooperative” sisters ages 24 and 23 with stab wounds on their arms.

A police statement says the women had “engaged in mutual combat,” but did not suffer life-threatening wounds.
