FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- A 25-year-old Flagstaff man has been arrested for attempted murder after police said they found him in a bathroom stabbing a woman in the neck.

Ricky Ray is being held on a $250,000 bond.

Two officers responding to the call early Saturday morning said they found several children coming down the steps of the apartment. Officers said they told them that a couple was fighting.

Police entered the apartment and said they could hear crying and screaming from the rear. The screams led them to a locked bathroom door.

Officers said they forcibly entered, saw a large amount of blood and deployed a stung gun to disable Ray. As he fell to the floor, the knife he was wielding fell to the floor as well, police said.

One officer administered emergency first aid on the victim while the other officer arrested Ray.

Flagstaff Fire Department and Guardian Ambulance transported the victim to the hospital. She suffered two lacerations across her neck and was listed in stable condition at Flagstaff Medical Center.

Other charges against Ray, including kidnapping, are pending.
