West Hartford police have charged a husband and wife accused of stabbing each other with a sword during a domestic incident at the West Hartford hookah bar they own.

Police said George Ayoub, 47, called 911 around 3:15 a.m. on April 22 to report that his wife, 24-year-old Najeh Frehi, had stabbed him with a sword at 1001 Arabian Nights Hookah Lounge at 134 Park Road.

"She stabbed me ..." he told the dispatcher. "Hurry up."

Ayoub was charged with assault in the first-degree of an elderly, blind, disabled, intellectually disabled or pregnant person and Frihi was charged with first-degree assault.

When police responded to the hookah lounge, it was closed , the door was locked and Ayoub tried to open the door to allow police in, but he couldn't reach it because of his wounds. To get to him, police had to break the glass.

He was taken to St. Francis Hospital to be treated for stab wounds to his abdomen.

Frihi was also injured and was treated for serious injuries to her shoulder and hands, police said.

Responding officers also found a large sword at the scene.

Ayoub is being held on $1 million bond and Frihi is being held on $100,000. Both are due in court this morning.

A public relations person for 1001 Arabian Nights said the facility is back open, this was an isolated incident and the public should feel safe about going to the hookah lounge.

Ayoub is recovering and Frihi is not working at the lounge anymore, the PR person said.
