Mandparo allegedly chased her when she tried to leave their apartment and stabbed her on the stairs in the building. The assault allegedly happened in front of their 14-year-old son who called the police, Haaretz reported, adding that a neighbor reported Mandparo fled holding the knife.
Mandparo was released from prison in March after serving 10 months for domestic violence against his wife who used to live in a shelter for abused and battered women, but left.
