THE GAZETTE

A man was stabbed Sunday by both his girlfriend and her 15-year-old daughter, then arrested on suspicion of domestic violence, Colorado Springs police said.

Police said they responded at 4:22 a.m. Sunday to 2020 W. Bijou St., where Omar Lopez, 32, had threatened to stab the daughter of his girlfriend, Tina Wyatt.

Instead, Wyatt stabbed Lopez once in the arm with a knife, police said. When Lopez then tried to assault Wyatt, her daughter picked up the knife and stabbed Lopez in the hand, police said.

Both wounds were superficial, police said.

Lopez was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence, both for Sunday morning’s incidents and past warrants, police said. Wyatt and her daughter won’t face any charges because they were acting in self-defense, police said.
