Authorities say a mother will face murder and attempted murder charges in a double stabbing in a Paterson apartment that left her 7-year-old son dead and her 17-year-old son wounded.

According to Passaic County prosecutors, police were called to the third-floor unit on North 6th Street Saturday just after 7 a.m. and found the two juveniles with stab wounds.

Prosecutors say both were rushed to St. Joseph’s University Medical Center, where they say the 7-year-old was pronounced dead. The victims’ mother, Iris Tolentino, 46, is behind bars.

The 17-year-old was treated and released. A third brother, a 15-year-old also in the unit, was unharmed.

Mayor Andrew Sayegh says the 7-year-old was a victim of domestic violence.

“An alarming act of violence that turned into an unspeakable tragedy and we lost a 7-year-old young man,” Sayegh says.

Police said the woman resisted arrest and caused minor injuries to two officers, prosecutors say. She also faces aggravated assault.
