The 35-year-old said Phillips approached him in bed to have sex but he was apparently not in the mood and tried to push her off of him.



The woman then says he became violent, while Stewart says he simply left the bedroom to sleep on a living room couch.



He told police Phillips 'would not leave him alone' and then things got physical.



Stewart accuses his girlfriend of stabbing him in the lower lip with 'a long metal object which appeared to be a knife.'

For her part, Phillips acknowledged she struck the man - but said she did it to 'protect herself”.



As well as aggravated assault, she was said to have been arrested for a pair of outstanding warrants for simple battery and damage to property.



As a result of the scuffle Stewart was charged with single battery.



The couple, from West Monroe in Louisiana, were arrested by officers from the Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office.
