Man sought after stabbing girlfriend 7 times in Marietta, cops say

Authorities accused Medina of “seriously disfiguring” the woman by stabbing her in the face, neck and arms, according to a Cobb County arrest warrant. Medina allegedly picked up two handguns, pointed them at the woman and said “you’re lucky I don’t kill you” before leaving the scene, the arrest warrant said.

The woman, who was not identified, was expected to survive her injuries, authorities said. She received several staples and stitches following the attack, the arrest warrant said.

Shortly after the stabbing, Cobb police spotted the woman’s car at a QuikTrip, but it appears Medina noticed the officers and fled the gas station on foot, authorities said.
