Finger on posterior triggers knife fight in Dallas

[July 28, 2010]  DALLAS (AP) -- Police said a Dallas woman was threatened with a knife in a fight that allegedly started when a friend rubbed her bottom with a finger.

A police report states 22-year-old Laquita Mattox was sitting on her friend's bed in a Dallas apartment Thursday when her friend rubbed her finger on Mattox's buttocks.

The police report said Mattox clenched, breaking her friend's bed, angered the unidentified friend and started a fight.

Dallas police Sr. Cpl. Kevin Janse said at some point the friend picked up a butcher knife and asked Mattox if she was "ready to die." However, Mattox had no visible injuries when police arrived.

Janse said the friend left the apartment before officers arrived and was being sought.
