The 25 year old victim following the argument walked into the living room followed by Parker.  Parker then is alleged to have punched the victim several times about her head. 

Parker during the assault removed a pocket knife and held it against the victim’s face threatening bodily harm.  When the victim attempted to break free from Parker’s grasp she sustained a puncture wound to her nose caused by the pocket knife.
