Sleepwalker Stabbed By Girlfriend

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A sleepwalking episode led to a stabbing. The Kansas City Star reported on its Web site Wednesday that the 24-year-old victim suffered a stab wound to his face and shoulder. Police said the victim's girlfriend awoke around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday to find her boyfriend urinating in the closet. He was intoxicated when he arrived at his apartment several hours earlier.

Police said the man had a history of sleepwalking and ignored his girlfriend's repeated efforts to wake him up.

He pushed her out of the way as he walked toward the kitchen, and she reportedly became scared that he might hit her.

Police said she grabbed a knife and held it up as he approached. He sustained injuries that are believed to be non-life threatening.

Shades of Bobbit. Lucky guy.

This story seems thin. I am sure there is more to it than this.

[KLordsha]

Are we sure he didn't stab himself?

[Harry Tuttle]

Don't ya hate it when that happens?

[Sensiblebg]

Im assuming all of you libs want to ban knives now??

[oceanofconsciousness]

No, just have health care coverage for everyone, that would be enough.

Good One !

Forks would be first on my list. There are more sharp points.

[blackfriday1978]

seriously? That was what you said, seriously? What kind of logic youd had to come up with that kind of attack/non-sense?

[skunky93]

I'm assuming all of you conservatives think she needs Jesus in her life. Perhaps a little prayer...S­ome speaking in tongues...­to help save her soul...and his.

blahbljfoi­ehdfoidufj­oishhhhhth­shshsshtth­www

there I did it. Oh look I'm saved..oh wait, no...that can't be right..... I can't do something wrong, then pray, and think everything is okay....th­at would be HYPOCRITICAL of me.

I'm assuming that you knee-jerk conservatives think things would be different if we armed all sleepwalkers with knives.

[factotem]

What am I supposed to tell my children about you twisted het.erose.­xuals? You het.eros have obvious criminal instincts.

[JulieSA]

What's with the picture of a man's hand holding a knife, when it was a woman who did the stabbing?

And why is this a front page story? This wouldn't even rate the front page on my hometown's city paper.

[SpaghettyIrish]

The female was conscious and aware, The sleepwalker was neither. Who do you think needs to be held responsible?

[Kenji]

Good thing she didn't have a gun. That's the end of THAT affair.

**The guy just sounds like a drunk. What's all the fuss? A drunk walked into a knife before his girlfriend walked into his fist. Why are they calling it sleepwalking?

[cosmicbullfight]

They sure do things differently there out in KC.

"Police said the victim's girlfriend awoke around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday to find her boyfriend urinating in the closet. He was intoxicated when he arrived at his apartment several hours earlier."

What? This story makes no sense to me LOL
Was he drunk or was he sleepwalking? And the stabbing is awkward.

[RustyGranite]

Many drunks sleepwalk after being passed out for some time. My father used to do it, and was BELLIGERENT when he woke up....comp­letely wacked out.

[Deekang]

Thank you, Peace. I'm not the only one insisting there is a big hole in this story. How did she end up with the knife? If you're pushed in the bedroom how do you end up scared in the kitchen with a knife? Or did she have the knife in the bedroom waiting for the next time he took whiz on her favorite shoes? I know if someone was tinkling on my Manolos I'd go Ninja.

Most people keep knives in the kitchen.
