 The 42-year-old woman was attacked by a 44-year-old man at Alexian
Brothers Medical Center in Elk Grove Village. The suspect was
immediately taken into custody without incident and was being
cooperative, according to Elk Grove Village Police.
The woman was identified as Francisca Quintero of Burlington,
Wisconsin, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office.
Police did not identify the suspect.
Elk Grove Village is located about 23 miles west of Chicago.
 Elk Grove Village Deputy Police Chief Chuck Walsh did not know the
suspect's and victim's relationship to the patient.
The stabbing took place in a hallway bathroom at the hospital.
Another family member reported a battery at about 11:36 a.m. local
time, and hospital security and police responded.
"It was over pretty quick," said Walsh.
No patients and staff at the hospital were harmed in what police
describe as an isolated domestic incident.

Walsh said the suspect is expected to appear in Cook County Circuit
Court for an arraignment on Monday. It was not immediately known
what the argument was about, and police did not identify the weapon
used.
