Police charged a woman after she allegedly stabbed a man in the hand when he repeatedly asked her for the TV remote, according to a local report.
The incident happened at around midnight Tuesday in Pittsburgh’s Bedford Dwellings neighborhood, WTAE reported. The victim told police he asked for the remote multiple times, but that 57-year-old Michelle Robinson kept the remote from him in her purse, according to a criminal complaint cited by the outlet.
The victim allegedly asked for the remote a third time after two unsuccessful attempts, leading Robinson to stab him in the hand with a knife, per the outlet. Robinson initially told police the victim had stabbed himself and that he’d assaulted her before later saying she’d stabbed the man, according to WTAE.
Robinson also told police she wanted to listen to music but the man wanted to watch football on TV, according to the outlet.
