NORTH HOLLYWOOD - A suspect was in custody today in connection with the stabbing of a North Hollywood woman in her third-story apartment, authorities said.

Los Angeles Police Department officials from the North Hollywood Station plan to hold a news conference at 2 p.m. to discuss the suspect's arrest, LAPD Officer Mike Lopez said. No information on the suspect was immediately available.

Police found the 33-year-old woman outside her apartment in the 11500 block of Magnolia Boulevard, near Colfax Avenue, about 6 a.m. Sunday, Lopez said. Her name was withheld.

An LAPD statement said the woman "had been stabbed multiple times and was bleeding profusely." She was hospitalized in stable condition this morning, the LAPD reported.

The suspect was trying doors in the apartment building and found the high school teacher's door unlocked, Fox11 reported. Police said neighbors heard the commotion, ran into the man and attempted to question him. One neighbor followed him, but he got away, Lopez said.

The assailant reported took some items from the woman's apartment, including a laptop computer.
