Two children were stabbed Friday afternoon in Lisle.

Lisle police say they were called at 5:25 p.m. to the 1900 block of Matson Lane by the children's father.

He said that his two children, ages 4 and 1, were covered in blood and that a person he knew was in the house and armed with a knife.

Officers took a woman into custody. No charges have been filed.

The children were hospitalized; their condition is stable, police said.
