Two sisters stab each other in a knife fight over child care in front of five small kids

Two sisters from Wisconsin are accused of stabbing each other during a fight over child care, which was allegedly sparked by a man and witnessed by five young children.

The Madison Police Department says officers were dispatched to a home on Wakefield Street at 12.10pm on Saturday after one woman reported she had been stabbed.

The officers arrived to find two 'uncooperative' sisters, 24-year-old Abria Tate and 23-year-old Alyssa Tate, suffering from stab wounds on their arms.

During the investigation, police say they learned that a 30-year-old man allegedly sparked the knife fight between the women. He has not been taken into custody as of Monday afternoon.

Child Protective Services was called in to assist with the children who witnessed the violent altercation.
