A Port-of-Spain woman was struck in the face and lat­er stabbed with a piece of a bro­ken mir­ror, dur­ing an ar­gu­ment with her male com­pan­ion on Thurs­day.

Po­lice said the 34-year-old vic­tim, of Dun­can Street, got in­to an ar­gu­ment with the sus­pect at her home around 8.05 pm, when he hit her in the face.

As the woman stum­bled back­wards, the sus­pect al­leged­ly grabbed the glass shard and stabbed her in the left side of the neck.

The vic­tim ran to the Dun­can Street Po­lice Post, where of­fi­cers as­sist­ed by tak­ing her to the Port-of-Spain Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal for treat­ment. They lat­er went to her apart­ment and ar­rest­ed the sus­pect, who was still there.

He re­mained in cus­tody at the Wood­brook Po­lice Sta­tion up to yes­ter­day.
