A Texas mom is
accused of stabbing her husband and driving a car into a pond while her three
children were inside the vehicle, police said.
Wei Fen Ong, of
Carrollton, is charged with one count of aggravated assault with a deadly
weapon resulting in serious bodily injury, and three counts of aggravated
assault with a deadly weapon.
Police responded
to a call Friday morning from the 4400 block of Tall Knight Lane, concerning a
man who told officers his wife had stabbed him.
Carrollton Fire
Rescue transported the man to a local hospital for treatment. He’s expected to
survive.
Police officers in
the nearby town of Lewisville received a separate call concerning the man’s
wife and the three children, ages 8, 9, and 12, who were in the backseat of a
vehicle that had been driven into a lake.
All four occupants
inside the vehicle were transported to local hospitals. A Lewisville officer
had to resuscitate one child and another was revived on the way to the
hospital, FOX 4 reported.
One of the
children remains in critical condition, while the others are stable, police
said.
It remains unclear
what led to the stabbing and the subsequent vehicle crash. Neighbors told the
station they’d heard yelling and screaming before the stabbing.
Ong was taken into
custody by the Carrollton Police Department and was slated to be transferred to
Denton County Detention. It’s unclear if she has retained an attorney who could
speak on her behalf.
