CASTLETON CORNERS, Staten Island -- A Staten Island woman has been arrested in the fatal stabbing of the father of two of her three children.

Police responding to a 911 call at 12:45 a.m. Saturday found the victim stabbed in the chest inside an apartment in the Todt Hill Houses.

The 31-year-old man was pronounced dead at a local hospital. His name was not immediately released.

The children were in the apartment during the stabbing.
