While trying to deflate the airbag, he stabbed her in the thigh with his knife. He then tried to pull her out of the vehicle by her leg even though she objected. The woman was admitted to Springfield Regional Hospital.
The man was charged with aggravated vehicular assault, negligent assault and OVI. He pleaded not guilty at an arraignment today in Clark County Municipal Court.
