Broncos’ Hunter stabbed in argument

DETROIT (AP) — Denver Broncos defensive player Jason Hunter was struck in the left upper chest by a kitchen knife hurled at him by his girlfriend during an argument over cell phones, according to a police report obtained by The Associated Press.

Hunter told police the woman waved the knife and told him to stay back before throwing it “on accident” during the morning of April 27, according to the six-page report obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.

She then took her boyfriend to receive medical treatment and later was arrested “after being pointed out by hospital security,” the report said.

The officers who wrote the report said the girlfriend was angry about having found a bag of cell phones, which Hunter claimed “were not his and belonged to his boy.”

Detroit police have said only that Hunter had been stabbed and taken to a local hospital for treatment. Hunter’s agent, Robert Walker, said afterward that the player required several stitches.
