BROWNSBURG, Ind. — A Brownsburg woman remains in critical condition after police said her son stabbed her in the head Monday afternoon.
Police said they received a call of a stabbing in the 1500 block of Midnight Pass, near North County Road 600 East and East Main Street, on April 24 around 12:30 p.m.
Officers located 59-year-old Susan Early in her front yard with multiple stab wounds and said she still had a large kitchen knife stuck in her head.
“Neighbors rushed to help her. She’s a sweet lady,” a neighbor told 13News.
Early told officers her son, 30-year-old Kyle Braun, had attacked and beaten her in the kitchen of her home. Neighbors told police Braun had left the home and pointed out which way he went.
Officers later found him near the neighborhood poolhouse, where he was taken into custody without incident.
Friday afternoon, the Hendricks County Prosecutor's Office charged Kyle Braun with attempted murder.
According to court documents, Braun is seen on video ringing the doorbell at his mother's house and then entering the home after being greeted by Early.
Witnesses then heard Early yelling for help and coming out of her house with a knife in her head.
Medics took Early to Eskenazi Hospital in critical condition, where she underwent emergency surgery.
Braun was treated at a local hospital for wounds to his hands. He was later released and taken to the Hendricks County Jail, where he was booked on preliminary charges of attempted murder and two counts of battery by bodily waste on an officer.
