A Rock Hill, South Carolina woman is accused by police of cutting a man’s face with a razor. The report states that the woman is being charged by police with second-degree assault and battery.
According to police, the victim and various witnesses at the scene told police that the woman was intoxicated, and while the two were arguing, she pulled out a razor and cut the man’s cheek and nose. This occurred at around 2:30 a.m. The woman claims that the man attacked her out of nowhere and she was defending herself, but the validity of this statement is in question due to the degree of the woman’s intoxication.
