Police sources tell 7 Action News that a woman was stabbed at the General Motors Technical Center in Warren on Wednesday morning.
Warren Mayor Jim Fouts calls the incident unprecedented, saying--in his political career in the city--he doesn't remember anything like this ever happening.
We're told a woman arrived at the visitor lobby desk at the Vehicle Engineering Center around 9 a.m. and asked to speak to the victim. Both then went outside to have a discussion. That's when the visitor began stabbing the other woman, according to Mayor Fouts.
The mayor says a valet driver who has a CPL intervened and stopped the attack from getting worse. The worker, 32-year-old Didarul Sarder, told 7 Action News he was escorted off of the property. Initially, he said he had been fired after the incident. General Motors says he has not been fired.
