Man stabs woman in Springfield hospital

A man is now charged with assault for allegedly stabbing the mother of his child at a hospital surgery center in Springfield, Missouri.

Charles D. Turner was charged with first-degree domestic assault. Turner is in custody and it isn’t clear if he has an attorney.

The stabbing happened Friday in a stairwell at the Mercy Surgery Center, near Mercy Hospital. The victim worked in the ministry of the hospital.

Investigators say Turner became upset he could not visit his daughter after he and the victim broke up.
