By Globe Staff

A woman cleaning her windshield during the storm Wednesday night was stabbed at least six times and robbed on Route 6 in Wareham, police said.

A Wareham police spokesman said today that the woman, who was not identified, is expected to survive. Police have not arrested any suspects.

The women had pulled into a parking lot at about 8:30 p.m. after her windshield wipers malfunctioned. Police said a man came behind her and tried to grab her pocketbook. When she resisted, the man stabbed her repeatedly in the arm and leg, police said. The man then ran off with her purse.

Workers at nearby stores heard the woman scream and called police. She was treated at a local hospital and transferred to Boston Medical Center, police said.
