The woman's injuries were not life-threatening, and police had not made any arrests as of Tuesday morning.
A woman was rushed to a local hospital Monday afternoon following a stabbing near the MBTA’s Forest Hills Orange Line station in Jamaica Plain, according to police.
Boston police officers responded to a grass field across from the T station around 4:18 p.m. for a report of a person stabbed, the department said. Upon arrival, first responders found the woman suffering from an apparent stab wound and transported her to the hospital.
The adult woman suffered injuries that were not life-threatening, MBTA Transit Police Supt. Richard Sullivan confirmed. He clarified the stabbing did not happen within the station, but along the exterior borders of the southwest corridor.

According to The Boston Globe, the woman’s injuries were initially believed to be life-threatening, and detectives from the Boston Police Department’s homicide unit were called to investigate.
Police had made no arrests as of late Tuesday morning, according to Sullivan.
“It would be inappropriate for me to comment or speculate on a motive at this early stage of the investigation,” he said.
