CLEVELAND -- A Cleveland man is accused of stabbing his 59-year-old grandmother while she was sleeping.

Police said the son of Hellen Colvin was watching TV in his West 41st Street home when he heard his mother screaming for help.

The woman told her son that her 20-year-old grandson had stabbed her in the face while she lay sleeping on the couch.

Colvin said her grandson was yelling at her to give him her pills, which she gave to him while trying to fight him off. She was stabbed in the face, neck and hands.

Colvin was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center and is said to be in good condition. She had surgery on her hands and had stitches in her face, neck and ear.

Police located and arrested the suspect. Police said the suspect told them that he was using cocaine, and knew that he was wrong to stab his grandmother.

No charges have been filed yet, but police said they plan to charge the suspect with felonious assault and domestic violence.
