critical condition after being stabbed three times, reportedly by a
former girlfriend
His 50-year-old former girlfriend was apprehended by officers in her own home in the same complex and was wearing 'blood-splattered clothing' when found.
Blige was taken to Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo, Michigan to undergo surgery and remained in a critical condition on Thursday evening.
Detective Sgt. Jim Martens told the Battle Creek Enquirer that the incident occurred when Blige saw his ex letting the air out of his tires.
He reportedly confronted her and the stabbing occurred before each returned to their own apartments.
The detective revealed officers found blood in the snow outside before discovering the victim and attacker each in their own homes.
The woman was treated for a cut, reportedly charged with 'assault with intent to murder' and is expected to be arraigned on Friday in Calhoun County District Court.
Detective Martens added that there have been seven domestic violence complaints between the warring former lovers since August.
On January 10, the Battle Creek Enquirer reports, she was placed on six months probation and ordered to ‘have non-assaultive contact with Blige’.
Mary, 43, has not yet commented on the incident.
