A man and his 29-year-old girlfriend were critically injured in a stabbing incident during an alleged domestic dispute at a residence in Greylands, Tongaat, KwaZulu-Natal, on Friday night.
Reaction officers were dispatched to the property after receiving a request for urgent assistance. When the officer arrived, the woman was found suffering from multiple stab wounds and bleeding heavily.
According to information gathered at the scene, the woman had travelled from Zululand to Tongaat earlier in the day with her three-year-old child to visit her partner.
The couple later became involved in a dispute after the man allegedly left the residence and returned some time later. The woman reportedly confronted him about where he had been.
During the confrontation, the 29-year-old woman allegedly stabbed the man.
The situation then escalated when the man allegedly wrestled the knife from her and stabbed her multiple times before leaving the property with the couple’s three-year-old child.
The woman sustained several serious wounds, including injuries to her body and groin area. She was found bleeding profusely when the Reaction Unit officer arrived, prompting a request for medical assistance.
Paramedics were called to the scene to treat the injured woman.
Reaction officers subsequently recovered the knife believed to have been used during the incident.
An unsuccessful search was conducted for the man and the three-year-old child after he allegedly fled the property with the child.
The circumstances surrounding the stabbing remain under investigation, and the exact sequence of events will have to be established by authorities.
The matter was handed over to the South African Police Service for further investigation.
No further information regarding the condition of the injured man, the woman’s condition or the whereabouts of the child had been confirmed at the time of reporting.
The incident highlights the serious consequences that can follow domestic disputes when confrontations become violent.
