A Lititz woman charged with stabbing a man while he held an infant last week is now charged with attempted homicide.

Lititz Borough police initially charged 25-year-old Maeloni Morales with aggravated assault, endangering the welfare of a child, terroristic threats, possessing an instrument of crime, and tampering with evidence regarding an Oct. 13 incident in the 300 block of East Main Street.

On Wednesday, Assistant District Attorney Amy Muller approved an additional charge of attempted homicide, in consideration of Morales’ actions and the severity of the victim’s injuries.

Morales posted $50,000 bail via a bondsman. She is presumed innocent.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Oct. 27 when bail status is also expected to be discussed.

The victim, who shares a child (who was being held) with Morales, was treated for days at an area hospital.

Morales threatened to kill the man before stabbing him, then telling him, “You see?” according to police.

Lititz Borough police Officer Cameron Burke filed charges.
