SWAMPSCOTT -- A black Acura SUV was towed this morning from the parking lot of the Swampscott Jewish Rehabilitation Center, the scene of a double stabbing that police called "domestic-related."

The attack occurred at about 6:45, according to police, and the injuries to a male suspect and female victim were life-threatening. One victim was taken to North Shore Medical Center in Salem and one to Massachusetts General Hospital, said Sergeant Jay Locke, a Swampscott police officer on the scene.

Bill Thomas who works the front desk at the JRC said he believed the attack occurred between the changing of shifts.

Police have not released any identifications pending notification of family.

Suzanne Perry, communications director for Jewish Rehab Center, said the victim was an employee of the center.

“We are cooperating with the police investigations,” she said, declining to release any further information.
