3 infants and 2 adults are stabbed at a New York in-home day care center

(CNN) — Five people, including three infants, were stabbed overnight Thursday at an in-home day care center in New York by an employee who then tried to kill herself, police said.

The victims — two little girls and a boy, plus two adults — were in stable condition Friday at local hospitals, New York police said.

The father of one injured child and a woman who works at the Queens day care were among those attacked, according to police.

The suspect, a 52-year-old woman employed at the in-home center, was taken to a hospital after cutting her wrist, police said.

The motive in the attack was unclear, police spokesman Lt. Thomas Antonetti said Friday.

The day care was in a private home, and it was not immediately clear whether it was licensed, police said.
