ROCK HILL --
A man was found bleeding from an apparent stab wound at a Rock Hill home early Tuesday morning.
Robert Harris, 40, of Rock Hill had a large cut about eight inches long on his left forearm when officers arrived at his Bradley Street home just after 1:30 a.m., according to a Rock Hill police report.
Harris was intoxicated and screaming that someone had tried to rob him, the report states. He was taken to Piedmont Medical Center.
Inside the home, officers saw a pool of blood near the back door, which continued into the kitchen and through the living room, the report states. They spoke with a woman in the home, who said she was asleep when the incident happened. The woman also appeared to be intoxicated, according to the report.
The woman told officers she and Harris had been drinking all evening, the report states. After an argument, Harris kicked the woman in the face and told her to get out. Officers saw injuries on the woman's face. Later, the two met up again and went to the Kickin' Pig on Cherry Road and continued to drink. The woman became tired and told him she was going to walk home.
The woman claims she fell asleep at the house, but officers noted that her story changed multiple times. Her final version was that she heard Harris return home and yell for her to call 911. After making the call, she gave him a towel for his cut and began wiping up the blood. She said she was cleaning because she was panicking with 911 on the phone.
A folded knife was found in the woman's purse, which she said is she has had for more than 12 years for protection, the report states. The knife had blood on the blade and was taken into evidence.
The woman has not been charged in the incident. The case is active.
