- A lovers' quarrel Saturday morning at a residence in the north part of Huntsville ended, police say, when the girlfriend took the man's pocket knife and stabbed him twice.

The victim told police that during the course of a shouting match with his girlfriend, he had pulled out his pocket knife and threatened to cut himself. The woman grabbed the knife from him, he told police, and stabbed him in the chest. He got away into the other room. He told police he returned a few minutes later -- and she stabbed him a second time, this time in the leg.

Michelle McCrae, with no age given, was taken into custody at the scene on Chase Creek Road in Huntsville, Ala., Oct. 18, 2014. McCrae is charged with first-degree domestic violence, a Class A felony, in the incident, which remains under investigation. The boyfriend was taken to Huntsville Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police say.

Correction: An earlier version of this story unquestioningly took Google map's word for where "Chase Creek Road" is, but the map generated when that address was entered into our system through Google mistakenly pulled up Jacks Creek Lane, which is in the Hampton Cove area. This incident was not in that area, and that map insert has been removed from this story.
