The Village of Antioch Police Department was called around 5 p.m. to the Joanna Court Apartments where officers found the victim being helped by a neighbor who applied "potentially life-saving first aid" with a tourniquet to his leg, authorities said. 

Anderson's 42-year-old ex-husband sustained stab wounds to his back and leg. The stabbing occurred in her apartment and the former husband fled to a neighboring unit, police said. 

Anderson allegedly stabbed him after an argument that started over his grocery store purchases. Despite the pair being divorced from each other, they still maintained a relationship, police said. 

Authorities didn't say what specifically the ex-husband bought that prompted the violent dispute.
