An 84-year-old man is behind bars after police say he stabbed his wife after an argument about mango peelings on the bedroom floor.
West Palm Beach, Florida police say Uriel Bradshaw stabbed his wife twice with a steak knife after she “blew up about him eating mangoes in the bedroom and leaving peelings on the floor,” CBS 12 reports.
The couple’s daughter rushed to the home and called 911.
When police arrived, they allegedly found the knife and blood stains around the house.
According to the Palm Beach Post, the 65-year-old victim suffered stab wounds to her shoulder and chest.
Bradshaw allegedly told police he remembered having an argument about the mangoes, but did not recall stabbing his wife.
The couple’s daughter says her father’s “mental state is diminishing but he has yet to get treatment or be diagnosed with a mental illness.”
Bradshaw is facing a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. He’s being held on $10,000 bail.
