A Selma man is recovering from two stab wounds following a Tuesday morning altercation with a woman in what was described as a domestic altercation.

According to a release from the Selma Police Department, officers responded to a call on the 400 block of Martin Luther King Street at around 7 a.m., where they found a black male, “in his 30s,” with a stab wound to his right shoulder and to his right side.  They also found a woman, identified as Amber Martin, with a bite wound to her shoulder and a bleeding lip.

Lt. Curtis Muhannad, in the release, said the victim reported arriving home at approximately 6:30 a.m. after being away from home all night. When the victim was let into the home, a verbal altercation started, which led to the victim allegedly being assaulted by Martin.

Domestic violence assault second is a Class C felony.
