The authorities say the victim was treated at the scene and later transported by ambulance to the hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

According to court records, Fogelman dropped the knife, which was then picked up by his girlfriend, 45-year-old Nenita Rose Gatlin.

Police allege to have found the knife in Gatlin's pocket.

Fogelman is facing a charge of second-degree assault. He has two felonies and 11 misdemeanors on his record, according to court files.

Fogelman remains in custody while Gatlin has been released, according to booking records. Police say anyone with information should contact the Assault Detail at 503-823-0479.
