A University of Washington student was stabbed six times while defending a woman who was punched in the face over a dispute involving a parking spot.

Graham Harper, 19, was leaving a house party in Seattle's University District on the morning of Jan. 25 when he saw a woman holding her face and crying, according to Kiro TV.

Harper asked the woman what was wrong and she showed him her black eye, saying a male had just hit her.

'She seemed sad, scared and shocked,' Harper told Kiro.

Police say the assailant, another UW student Jarred Ha, and the woman got into a dispute over a parking spot and he hit her.

Harper saw Ha yelling at another woman nearby and approached the man telling him to leave.

'[I] told him you don't hit girls and I pushed him,' Harper said.

The two got into a pushing match and, as they tussled, Ha pulled out a knife and stabbed Harper six times, Harpet alleged.

'My entire, like, legs and abdomen were just kind of covered in blood,' Harper said, according to Kiro.

Harper spent nearly a week in the hospital and was discharged early Thursday, as indicated by a post to his Facebook page.

Due to his time in the hospital, Harper, who is in the National Guard, has been forced to take the quarter off from UW because he has fallen behind in his course work.

Police located Ha sleeping in his apartment nearby, and he reportedly showed them a knife with a 3-inch blade.

Ha was arrested and charged with two counts of assault and is expected to appear in court this month.
