A homeless trans-identifying male was arrested on Thursday after allegedly stabbing a Greenville, South Carolina shelter employee who was attempting to evict the suspect.
The Greenville County Sherrif’s Office wrote in a press release that deputies were called to the area of Regency Hill Drive at around 11 am when 34-year-old Michelle Silva Perez “became upset at being evicted from the property and began causing a disturbance.” During the incident, police said that Perez stabbed a woman with a “sharp-edged object.”
Perez was taken into custody at the scene and the woman was transported to the hospital for surgery. The sharp object in question was reportedly a sword, with Perez allegedly pushing the employee to the ground and stabbing her, exposing the employee’s internal organs, according to The Post and Courier.
Perez was charged with attempted murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. Flood said that Perez was booked into Greenville County jail, where Perez is currently being held with male inmates but in isolation.
