LYNNWOOD – A man was arrested Sunday for reportedly chasing his girlfriend with a butcher knife and threatening to stab her.
The woman told police she and her boyfriend, 38, were arguing about money when he grabbed a knife from the kitchen and chased her around the house, according to a police affidavit filed in Everett District Court.
Five young children were home at the time, according to court records. Two of them stood between the suspect and their mother, begging him not to hurt her, police wrote in court documents.
One of the children ran to a neighbor’s house and called 911.
The man was arrested and booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of attempted second-degree murder. He was being held in lieu of $25,000.
