Police arrested a man on a charge of felonious assault after a woman was stabbed in the stomach about 5:15 a.m. today on the South Side.

Police were called to a home in the 500 block of East Philadelphia Avenue and found Jasmine Riddle, 32, on her porch — bleeding from a stab wound to her stomach.

Reports said Riddle told officers Rob DiMaiolo and Anthony Congemi her uncle, Richard Wilson, 56, stabbed her, and her 2-year-old was inside with him.

Congemi broke the door down and found Wilson at the top of the steps, reports said. The child was found unharmed, reports said.

Wilson was arrested without resistance. He also told police where the knife was that was used in the stabbing, reports said.

Riddle is being treated for her wound at St. Elizabeth Health Center. Wilson is in the Mahoning County jail and is expected to be arraigned in Municipal Court Wednesday.
