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.
