The man told police officers that he was in bed when Debra Whiteman was raising the knife back up to stab him again with more force, but he was able to control her and punch her in the face, according to the Pembroke Pines police officers’ arrest report.

The man also told police officers that he has been in a romantic relationship with Whiteman for the last year and that they have been living together for about eight months before she stabbed him while he was asleep in his bedroom, according to police.

Fire Rescue personnel responded to the home after midnight near the corner of Northwest 88th Avenue and Eighth Street and took the stabbing victim and Whiteman to Memorial Regional Hospital. The man survived the non-life-threatening injuries, according to police on Monday.

Whiteman, who was in the custody of the Broward Sheriff’s Office, was facing charges of premeditated attempted murder and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

Detectives were asking anyone with information about the case to call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
