A woman, Shalaya Briston, was charged with attempted homicide and aggravated assault, police said. It was not clear if Briston is the same woman who sustained injuries during the assault. Police officers were called to UPMC Mercy hospital after a stabbing victim walked into the hospital around 4:30 a.m. Saturday, to a Pittsburgh Public Safety spokeswoman told the Associated Press. Pryor is expected to fully recover from the stabbing, Gregory Diulus of Vantage Management Group, which represents Pryor, told the AP.
