Police said Tuesday that a 27-year-old man, Aaron Brinson, has been placed in police custody after allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend—and being stabbed by her juvenile son in defense. Officers called to Middleton Road in Atlanta at around 3:15 a.m. on Monday morning were told by the child’s mom that Brinson had attacked her in her home.

Authorities did not identify the weapon used, but noted that Brinson had been treated for “a cut” on his shoulder.
