Husband and Wife’s van is flagged down by police one night for nonworking headlights. But the police send them on their way.
Later on, at Wife’s urging, Wife’s brother allegedly assaults Husband with a hatchet, striking Husband multiple times, until he was nearly decapitated … while Wife reportedly held Husband down. During the struggle, Husband stabbed Wife’s Brother once.
Wife then called police to report a carjacking and attempted murder when they stopped due to car trouble.
