Family members intervened in a domestic dispute, forcing a woman to drop a knife she was threatening to use on a man.

The man had already been stabbed with a pair of scissors after the man and woman got into a fight at her apartment in Millcreek, a Salt Lake County sheriff's report states.The woman's brother arrived at her apartment about 8 p.m. Monday and saw his sister threatening a man with a knife, the report said. He told deputies he held her arms down, while the other man took the knife from her and threw it in a nearby creek.

The man who was stabbed and threatened left and went home. He later called deputies, but said he didn't want the woman arrested because she had a 2-week-old baby, the report said.
