An Albion, Michigan mother was stopped in time as she tried to drown an already-stabbed toddler in the bathtub on Saturday.
A 15-year-old girl called 911 to report the incident prompting officers to rush to the scene. They reportedly had to break down the door of the locked room to save the 2-year-old victim.
“After giving a few quick breaths, the child coughed up water and began breathing on her own,” Albion authorities said.
The 2-year-old girl had two stab wounds to the chest and throat, officers said. She and a 4-year-old sibling had also ingested cleaning fluid.
Police arrested the 35-year-old mother of the two victims, who has two other children aged 15 and 8, and took her to a hospital after suspecting she may have also ingested cleaning fluid.
