A woman told officers that they were sitting on the couch with their baby when Ford burst into the apartment and began fighting with the victim. Court records show Ford is the woman's ex-boyfriend and he was fighting with the victim as he held the child. The woman said the man stabbed at Ford to get him to back off and then Ford stabbed the victim in the back and left the scene.

The victim was rushed to the hospital for treatment of a single stab wound.

The woman provided police with a description of Ford's clothing and his vehicle. St. Cloud Police found Ford a short time later and arrested him.

Ford complained of injuries to his side, but police only found small scratches.
