A 57-year-old woman was stabbed in the first block of Frontier Trail in unincorporated Oswego Township at about 10:35 a.m. Monday.

The Kendall County Sheriff's Office was called to the home about an hour after the stabbing. Deputies were told by the victim that a tall, black man in his late 30s with short hair and wearing a black T-shirt came to her door trying to sell the woman something, according to a Sheriff's Office news release.

The man stabbed the woman in the chest with a knife and pushed her down in the doorway of the home. The offender then left the scene on foot, the release said.

The woman was rushed to Rush-Copley Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries by Oswego Fire Protection District personnel, Kendall County Sheriff's Office spokesman Craig French said. She was later released from the hospital, the release said.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 630-553-7500, Ext. 1123. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Kendall County Crime Stoppers at 630-553-5999.
