Blood on the sidewalk: 8-year-old stabs ‘uninvited’ grandma to protect her mother from knife attack, according to deputies

A Florida lady is in jail after attempting to kill her estranged adult daughter with a knife, according to Sunshine State law officials.

Serpil Nebiye Adams, 62, is charged with one count of attempted murder in the second degree without premeditation.

The underlying event occurred Monday afternoon at a home on Reese Avenue in the Oakleaf neighborhood of Orange Park, a tiny city about 20 miles south of Jacksonville.

According to charging records obtained by Law&Crime, the victim called 911 at 3:15 p.m. that day.

“The caller, later determined to be the victim, could be heard yelling for an individual to leave her home,” according to a press statement released by the Clay County Sheriff’s Office.

When deputies arrived, “they observed blood on the sidewalk,” according to a heavily redacted affidavit seeking an arrest warrant.

Deputies then conferred with the victim for an extended period.

According to the sheriff’s office, deputies quickly discovered that the victim had a violent argument with her estranged biological mother. Adams allegedly arrived at her daughter’s home “uninvited.”

“During the investigation, it was determined the victim was home with her two young children when Adams came into the home through an unlocked door and attacked the victim with a serrated utility knife,” the county attorney’s office said.

The attack, however, was foiled by an unexpected hero.

“While attempting to protect her mother, the victim’s 8-year-old daughter retrieved a kitchen knife and stabbed Adams in the upper arm,” the authorities said.

According to officials, there was also a noticeable amount of red at the site.

“The storm drain was also in the direct path of the blood drops leading from the residence to the suspect’s vehicle,” according to the confession.

As the investigation continued and the accused assailant was identified, officers showed the victim a driver’s license photo of the defendant, who “positively identified” her own mother, according to the affidavit.

Next, officials discovered that the vehicle thought to be driven by Adams belonged to another lady, according to the affidavit. Investigators then contacted the car’s owner.

Investigators soon arrived at Adams’ apartment in Jacksonville, where she was staying with a friend, officials said.

“The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office located Adams inside the friend’s residence, and she was taken into custody without incident,” according to the statement.

Adams then claimed her Miranda rights during a custody interview and demanded a counsel, resulting in the conversation being terminated, according to an arrest form obtained by Law&Crime.

The victim and her children were not injured during the foiled knife attempt, according to the sheriff’s office.

According to documents, the defendant is currently imprisoned in the Clay County Jail on a bond of just over $500,000.

Adams appeared in court on Tuesday for a hearing, which resulted in a no-contact order if she is able to post the bail she was granted. The defendant is next scheduled to appear in court on December 16.
