The attack took place in Ulster County in Ellenville around 1:40 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 21 on Roslyn Street.
According to Capt. Daniel Waage of the Ellenville Police, police responded to the home on a report of a domestic incident.
When officers arrived they found a woman suffering from serious knife wounds to the neck, Waage said.
The woman was rendered first aid and transported to Westchester County Medical Center where she is currently being treated, police said.
The woman's son, Jordan Cutler, age 35, of Ellenville, was found outside the home while police were on the scene, Waage said. He surrendered peacefully and was placed into custody.

The weapon was recovered at the scene.
