Upon arrival, police found a 31-year-old male victim holding down Tucci, police said. According to police, the man was bleeding heavily from a stab wound to his back that he and other witnesses said was caused by Tucci.

Investigation revealed the incident started inside Junction House Pub. Tucci and another female became involved in a physical altercation, police said.

According to police, the other woman, who is a friend of Tucci's, fled the bar and ran to the upstairs apartments in an effort to escape Tucci.

Tucci allegedly followed the woman and, once inside the apartment, again tried to instigate a fight, police said.

Police said other people in the apartment tried to calm Tucci down; however, she allegedly continued to attack the other woman.

The male victim intervened on behalf of the woman, and police said this enraged Tucci.

Tucci then allegedly grabbed a knife from the kitchen and stabbed the man on his upper right side of his back, according to police.

Tucci was then disarmed by the victim and a male witness and held down until police arrived.

Tucci and the victim were transported to Abington Hospital by VMSC. Tucci was treated and released for minor abrasions, police said.
