A 39-year-old woman in Pennsylvania was allegedly discovered hiding under a pile of blankets after threatening to kill her boyfriend and his family, nearly stabbing him to death with a kitchen knife.

Christina A. Morris was arrested this week and charged with several crimes, including attempted homicide and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon causing serious bodily injury, according to court records reviewed by Law&Crime.

Officers with the Cumberland Township Police Department responded around 9:50 p.m. on Monday to a call from a man who reported being stabbed by his girlfriend in a trailer on Walker Avenue, as reported by York Fox affiliate WPMT.

“Upon arrival, [police] observed an ongoing physical confrontation inside the kitchen area between the defendant and the victim through a window,” police stated in a probable cause affidavit obtained by the Gettysburg Times.

After officers knocked on the door, the victim opened it while Morris ran toward the back of the building, according to officials. The victim was reportedly covered in blood.

“At this point, [police] conducted a search of the residence to locate the defendant,” the affidavit reportedly noted. “The defendant was subsequently found in the back bedroom of the trailer, hiding underneath blankets.”

Morris was taken into custody and placed in the back of the officers” patrol car while they conducted a field interview with the victim.

The victim told authorities that he was inside of the trailer watching television when Morris came from “out of nowhere” and began saying “that she was going to kill him and his family,” Harrisburg ABC affiliate WHTM reported.

That’s when Morris allegedly grabbed a knife from the kitchen and attacked the victim, striking him “numerous times in the face” before allegedly trying “to stab him in the neck” with the knife. The victim reportedly blocked the thrusts to his neck with his left arm, resulting in defensive stab wounds to his arm and shoulder.

‘He was in fear for his life throughout the altercation,” the affidavit reportedly said.

Emergency medical personnel provided treatment for the victim at the scene before transporting him to Gettysburg Hospital for treatment.

Authorities performed a search of the residence, where they “observed a massive amount of blood in the kitchen, and retrieved the suspected knife from a silverware drawer located in the kitchen.”

Morris agreed to speak with detectives, allegedly confessing to “putting the knife up to the victim” before eventually returning it to the kitchen drawer.

In addition to the aforementioned charges, Morris is also facing misdemeanor counts of simple assault and possession of an instrument of crime with intent to use it.

Morris appeared in court for her initial appearance on Tuesday where Magisterial District Judge Mark D. Beauchat denied bond due to her being a “danger to society.” She is currently being held in the Adams County Prison and scheduled to appear in court again for a preliminary hearing on Sept. 10.
