UNION COUNTY, S.C. (WSPA) – A woman was arrested Wednesday for allegedly cutting and stabbing a man in Union.

The Union Police Department charged 34-year-old Sareema Rasean Bissielou with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature in regard to an incident that occurred on April 16.

Officers responded to the Union Medical Center where they encountered the victim with a cut on his left thigh, a stab wound on the left side of his abdomen, a wound to his right elbow and a wound on the left side of his head.

The victim told police the incident happened on West Henrietta Street near Tiger Court when he alleges Bissielou approached him and said “nasty things” to him. He admitted to retaliating and reported that Bissielou began swinging at him with something and cut his leg.

The victim continued reporting to authorities that he attempted to flee from Bissielou but had hit his head.
