Bloomington woman stabbed in fight

A Bloomington woman stabbed another woman in a fight about a man Monday, police said. \nMonday night, Bloomington Police Department officer Dana Runnebohm was called to the Bloomington Hospital's emergency room to talk to a woman with a stab wound, BPD Detective Sgt. David Drake said, reading from a police report.\nThe woman, 23, said her attacker, Latrice Greer, 28, called her while she was outside of her apartment in the 500 block of South Basswood Drive, Drake said. Greer told the woman she was outside of her apartment and that she had something for her, Drake said, reading from the report. The woman told police she did not want any problems inside her apartment, so she went outside, Drake said. Once outside, Greer walked toward the woman and swung at her with something in her hand. The woman put up her left forearm to block and said she then felt a great deal of pain and began to bleed severely from her forearm, Drake said.\nGreer then swore at the woman and got into her car and left. The woman called a friend to take her to the hospital and was treated at Bloomington Hospital for a deep laceration several inches in length on the underside of her left forearm, Drake said. She suffered extensive muscle and tendon damage that will require surgery, he said.\nLater that day, officers found Greer at her residence, Drake said. Greer said she had not been to the victim's apartment that day, he said. She said she was with someone else who could verify her whereabouts. Greer gave officers the name and number of her alibi, but when officers called the number she gave them, that person denied seeing Greer that day, Drake said. \nGreer was arrested on the preliminary charge of battery with a deadly weapon, a Class C felony, he said.
