Louisville Metro Police arrested a woman accused of stabbing a man during an altercation that began after she hit him with a burrito.

Christina Blevins, 48, of Louisville, was arrested Tuesday night in connection with the incident, which police said occurred around 7 p.m. in the 900 block of Schiller Court, according to an arrest citation released Wednesday.

Police said Blevins and the man were engaged in a verbal argument after she struck him in the head with a burrito. As he was walking out of the kitchen, Blevins picked up a knife and threatened him.

The man cussed at Blevins and turned to walk away, police said. Blevins then tried to stab him, but he blocked the knife and was cut in the back of his left hand. The knife redirected and also cut Blevins.

No other information was provided in the post-arrest complaint.

Blevins was arrested around 10 p.m. near the scene of the incident, court records show. She is facing a charge of second-degree assault, a felony.

She was to be arraigned in Jefferson County District Court Wednesday morning, court records show.
