A child was reportedly detained after allegedly attacking another child at a home on Saturday, according to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
The victim, who was a foster child at the home, was choked by an 8-year-old boy, who later released him after the victim complained that he was having trouble breathing.
When the victim approached the 8-year-old, the boy is accused of grabbing a knife, swinging it, and slitting his throat.
According to the affidavit, the victim’s friend allegedly took the boy’s knife.
