Mom ran into Chick-fil-A 'covered from head to toe in blood' after daughter stabbed her at least 10 times in front of 2 kids inside car: Cops

A 21-year-old Wisconsin woman allegedly stabbed her mother at least 10 times inside a car in front of two children in the parking lot of a Georgia Chick-fil-A.

Shyanniah Ma’Ree Johnson stands accused of aggravated assault and two counts of child cruelty, jail records show.

According to police, Johnson and her 39-year-old mother had an argument that turned physical outside the Chick-fil-A on Highway 92 near I-75 in Cherokee County.

Both the suspect and victim were injured, cops said.

“The mother ran inside the Chick-fil-A. Acworth police officers were inside the restaurant and assisted until an ambulance arrived and transported her to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital,” the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office said.

One of the police officers inside the restaurant spoke with local Fox affiliate WAGA. She and another officer happened to be eating lunch at the time.

“We turn around and see a woman covered from head to toe in blood,” Acworth police officer Makayla Grimes told the TV station. “She told us she had been stabbed by her daughter. She was petrified, you could see it in her eyes.”

Grimes said she used a tourniquet to stop the bleeding from the victim’s wrist.

“I knew that the seconds mattered in that moment to stop the bleeding or she was going to die,” she said.

Johnson allegedly fled the scene with two kids in the car. Cops with Whitfield County Sheriff’s Office, Georgia State Patrol and Dalton Police Department tracked Johnson’s vehicle about 70 miles away in Dalton and pulled her over.

She had a stab wound to the leg and was taken to a hospital for treatment. She’s since been released from the hospital and is now in the Cherokee County Jail on a $3,000 bond. Her next court date is not listed.

The victim also was treated and released from the hospital.

“I’m just glad we were there, it was God’s timing for sure, right place right time for two off duty officers to just be having lunch,” Grimes said. “Just happy we were able to help her.”

The Division of Family and Children Services took custody of the kids, who were not physically hurt.
