A Denton State School client was stabbed by another client in their living area, according to a report Wednesday to police.

An employee of the state home for the mentally impaired called at about 10 p.m. to report the incident. She said that the attacker must have one-on-one supervision at all times. She agreed to relieve the attendant for a break, she said. When she walked into the room, the client began yelling at her to get out. The client then rushed out of the room and into the kitchen, where she began rummaging in a drawer.

The employee thought she was looking for food, but she grabbed a pair of scissors. Employees began getting clients to safety. One female client who is blind and requires round-the-clock attention could not be moved fast enough, according to the report.

The angry client stabbed her six times in the neck, back and head. Paramedics took her to a hospital emergency room for treatment of non-life-threatening wounds, and staff members and police subdued the other woman and took the scissors from her. Police are investigating.
