Surveillance video shows the 28-year-old victim fighting with the other woman on the sidewalk, during which she was apparently stabbed in the neck.
She was rushed to St. Luke's Hospital in critical but stable condition.
The suspect, a woman wearing a black shirt and blue jeans, fled the location.
Police say the victim and the suspect are known to each other, but further details have not been released.
Inside the dollar store, towels were soaked in blood up and down the aisles. Employees were left wiping and cleaning everything up.
Residents in the neighborhood were left shaken by the violence.
"It's not like before New York. It's not safe. It's horrible. It's terrifying," said Sonia Badreddine.
