It was reported at approximately 11 p.m.
Shull said a female victim suffered a stab wound.
She was treated and released from a hospital Tuesday morning.
The name of the juvenile, who is 17, is being withheld due to his age.
He has been charged with abduction, malicious wounding, breaking and entering and assault and battery.
