A stabbing is an act of using a sharp object, such as a knife, to puncture or cut the skin of another person. This type of violence can lead to serious injuries or even death, depending on the location and depth of the wound. Stabbings can occur in various contexts, including personal disputes, criminal activities, or acts of self-defense. In many countries, stabbings are considered a criminal offense and can result in severe legal consequences for the perpetrator. Law enforcement agencies often investigate stabbings to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident and to provide support to the victims. Emergency medical services are typically called to treat those injured in such events.
