A 24-year-old Kansas City man suffered a stab wound to his face and shoulder early today when his girlfriend allegedly tried to wake him from sleepwalking. Police reports gave this account:

The victim was intoxicated when he came home to his apartment in the 9800 block of Cherry Street about 10 p.m. Tuesday. He and his girlfriend talked for a few hours then went to sleep.

The girlfriend awoke about 1:30 a.m. and saw her boyfriend urinating in the closet. She believed he was sleepwalking, because he had done that in the past. She tried to wake him up, but he ignored her and walked toward the kitchen.

She said he pushed her out of his way. Scared he might hit her, she grabbed a knife and held it up as he approached. After he was cut, she drove him to a hospital. His injuries are believed to be non-life threatening.
