SON ALLEGEDLY STABS DAD WITH SHARP SCISSORS
A policeman was severely injured after his son allegedly stabbed him with a pair of scissors on Monday, police said. The man’s wife told police that her son was suffering from “a crazy disease”. He constantly picked fights with innocent people, she said, forcing the family to keep him locked up. The mother alleged that her son attacked his father while he was sleeping. Police said they had sent the boy to hospital in order to “cure the disease”. The mother said her son had previously fought with other people, but had never stabbed anyone.
