Two Columbus Police officers were injured early Saturday morning after police say a woman stabbed both officers while they were responding to a disturbance involving neighbors.

According to the Columbus Police Department, officers were dispatched at approximately 3:21 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 26, to the 1000 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard regarding a dispute between neighbors.

Police said officers resolved the initial dispute, but 22-year-old Makayla Jacobson allegedly caused another disturbance while officers were still at the scene.
