Honolulu police arrested a 36-year-old woman for suspicion of first-degree attempted murder after three women were stabbed at Zablan Beach in Nanakuli this afternoon.

Officers responded to a report of a stabbing at about 1:24 p.m. to find three victims, according to a Honolulu Police Department summary of the incident. Two women, ages 22 and 32, suffered multiple stab wounds, and a third woman, 22, had been stabbed once, police said.
