A Lake Worth man has been charged with attempted homicide for allegedly trying to kill his girlfriend with a knife and fork.

Arlen Arguijo was involved in an argument with his live-in girlfriend on the corner of Lake Wood Road and Kirk Road on Saturday afternoon when he pulled a fork out of his pocket and tried to stab her several times, authorities said.



Arguijo, 35, then grabbed a folding knife and attempted to stab the woman, telling her he would kill her and her children.

A witness intervened and the victim was able to get away. The woman suffered cuts to her fingers. Arguijo also faces aggravated assault charges.
