She says she never insulted the woman, but the woman turned her ire on the teen and started arguing with her. "As the argument got verbal, she put her hand in her purse and proceeded to tell me she was going to shoot me," Jenkins told WJBK. "I did not see or even know I was stabbed until after the physical altercation." Jenkins said the woman pulled a kitchen knife out of her purse and stabbed her twice in the neck, once in the stomach, and once in her thigh. The teen said her lung was punctured in the attack. The 40-year-old suspect was arrested at the mall, and charges are expected to be filed against her. Authorities say her children were with her at the time of the stabbing. "I think it was unfair to me to get stabbed," Jenkins said. "I would love to press charges. I am going to press charges, but it does sadden me because I don’t want her to be taken away from her children, I truly don’t." Jenkins is expected to make a full recovery from her injuries.
