PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Portland police say a 24-year-old woman may have stabbed herself Thursday night.

Initial reports were an assailant, another woman, walked up to the victim and stabbed her. Police officers canvassed the neighborhood but did not find the suspect.

Officers put a hold on the woman for a mental health evaluation, according to a Portland police bulletin.
