Police said at 5:44 p.m., the 33-year-old woman turned up at St. Bernard Hospital with three small children — a 1-year-old girl, a 3-year-old boy, and a 5-year-old boy — all of whom she had stabbed in the right wrist in the 7100 block of South Harvard Avenue.

Police said the children were relocated to the University of Chicago's Comer Children's Hospital in serious condition.

The woman was taken into custody with charges pending late Wednesday, police said.
