A woman was arrested Wednesday after stabbing three people, including an Atlanta police officer, at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, authorities said.

Officers encountered the woman, who was armed with a knife, around 4:45 p.m. outside security in the airport’s South terminal, according to police. By that point, officials said the woman had already stabbed a man.

Authorities tried to talk the suspect into dropping the knife while restricting her movements and creating distance from nearby travelers. During that encounter, the suspect stabbed a woman and a police lieutenant who was trying to take her into custody, officials said.

Another officer was then able to tackle and disarm the woman, police confirmed. The suspect’s name and charges were not released.

All victims were taken to the hospital, but their conditions were not provided. Police said the suspect was not injured.

Investigators are now trying to determine what may have led to the stabbings.

Several people on social media posted about the disturbance. One video circulating appeared to show travelers sitting on the ground in silence before being told by airport staff that they could stand again.
