LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — A Louisville woman is recovering after police say she was stabbed at an apartment in Shively, leading to the arrest of a suspect now facing an attempted murder charge.
According to an arrest citation, officers were called Monday to an apartment in the 1800 block of San Jose Avenue for a reported stabbing. When they arrived, officers found a woman suffering from apparent stab wounds. She was taken to UofL Hospital, where she was listed in apparent serious condition.
Police said witnesses told officers a white male suspect fled the scene following the attack. While officers were still investigating, dispatch alerted them to another call involving a disturbance at a nearby home on Rockford Lane.
Officers responded to that location and made contact with a man identified as 43-year-old Rocky McEntire. Investigators determined the Rockford Lane incident was connected to the earlier stabbing, according to the citation.
During the investigation, police said McEntire admitted he "had to hurt someone to get away" and told officers he used a knife. Detectives also reported seeing what appeared to be blood on him.
Police said McEntire’s mother called officers to the Rockford Lane home and told them her son had broken a window to get inside. She also gave officers two folding pocket knives, one of which appeared to have possible blood on the blade.
A search warrant was later executed at the home to collect additional evidence.
McEntire was arrested and charged with attempted murder. The investigation remains ongoing.
