A 17-year-old girl was arrested Thursday after allegedly stabbing her boyfriend several times at a Burbank apartment, police said.

Just before 2 p.m., police responded to an apartment in the 200 block of West Valencia Avenue, where a 17-year-old boy was bleeding from several stab wounds to his arm and upper torso, said Burbank Police Sgt. Claudio Losacco.

Paramedics transported him to a hospital, where he was in stable condition.

The girlfriend, who was not identified because she’s a minor, was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and domestic violence.
