ORLANDO, Fla. — A man in Orlando faces multiple charges following a domestic violence incident and an attack on a police officer during his arrest, WESH reported.

The Oct. 23 incident began when Sanford Police officers responded to a 911 call reporting a possible stabbing, according to the report. The suspect had contacted police claiming his wife was attempting to stab and hit him. He informed dispatchers that he had left the scene.

When officers arrived at the residence, they spoke with a woman who appeared to have suffered injuries to her face. While they spoke with her, the suspect returned to the home.
