WALNUT CREEK (BCN) - A woman who jumped out a second-story window Friday night could face assault charges because police suspect the woman leapt from the window after stabbing a man inside the Walnut Creek home, police said.

About 7:15 p.m., officers responded a home on Camino Verde, where a woman had reportedly jumped out of a second-story window.

Outside the home, officers found 45-year-old Walnut Creek resident Kelly Blakeman, who sustained injuries related to her fall, but inside the home, police found a man who had been stabbed.
