ROCHESTER HILLS, MI — A woman reportedly stabbed her brother with a letter opener after he refused to get out of the car, according to a press release.

Oakland County Sheriff's Office Deputies were summoned to the area of S. Adams Rd. near Hamlin Rd. on Jan. 6 at 11:49 a.m. by a 28-year-old Detroit man who said he had been attacked by his sister.

Arriving Deputies say the man was driving with his sister, a 36-year-old Detroit woman, when she ordered him out of the vehicle. He refused because of the cold and he was unfamiliar with the area, and his sister allegedly responded by stabbing him in the leg with a letter opener. Deputies recovered a letter opener inside the vehicle.
