A Hopkinsville man is charged with felony wanton endangerment after he allegedly swung a knife at women during an altercation Tuesday afternoon at the Russellville Road Circle K.
The victims told officers that 18-year old Cortez Lewis of Hopkinsville followed them to that location after his car nearly hit their automobile on Greenville Road.
Lewis allegedly asked if they had a problem and if they wanted to fight and later retrieved a knife and began swinging it at the women who were inside their vehicle.
The victims were able to avoid being cut, though one sustained a minor injury after Lewis allegedly hit her in the mouth.
Lewis fled the scene, but was located at Mechanic and East Fourth Street, where he reportedly admitted to getting the knife, entering the women’s car and attempting to cut one of them after he said she spit on him.
The reports says the incident was captured on video surveillance and Lewis is seen swinging the knife at all three women.
He is charged with first-degree wanton endangerment.
