A woman in Governador Valadares was injured during a domestic altercation when she stabbed her partner in self-defense.

In a domestic incident in Governador Valadares, Brazil, a 27-year-old woman sustained injuries during a heated argument with her partner. The altercation escalated during a gathering at their home, leading to a physical confrontation where the woman reportedly acted in self-defense. The police were called to the scene, where they discovered children in distress and evidence of a violent struggle, including overturned furniture and blood on the floor.

The woman was found in bed with significant neck pain, leading to her immediate transport to a hospital by emergency services. Medical assessments indicated swelling in her neck caused by someone gripping her, although there were no fractures. After receiving treatment, she was released from the hospital.
