HARRISBURG, Pa. — Harrisburg police are looking for a woman accused of domestic assault and attacking a first responder with a knife last night.

Juanee D. Crawford is wanted for criminal attempted homicide after the incident at around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Hall Manor complex, according to a Harrisburg police news release. First responders arrived at an apartment in the complex and were attempting to treat a 68-year-old man who had been assaulted.

Crawford confronted the paramedics with a knife in her hand and told first responders, “I’m going to kill you,” police said. She then lunged at one of the paramedics stabbing him in the chest and slashing at him near the waist, according to the news release.
