Both sisters were arrested on October 27 on charges of attempted murder, the station reported. Police say the siblings entered a shoe store in Lawndale on October 25 when they stabbed a security worker at least 27 times over a mask dispute, the Chicago Sun-Times added.

Jessica Hill then started to stab the man with a “comb knife,” while her younger sister restrained him, the newspaper continued.
