A verbal argument turned into a physical altercation, which led to the stabbing of a man and the arrest of a woman earlier this week.

Orange police were called to a disturbance in the 500 block of Camelia Avenue around 10:50 a.m. Thursday.

At the scene, officers learned that a verbal argument had occurred between a man and a woman who had children together, said Captain Jonathan Baggett.

A physical altercation ensued and police said the woman allegedly stabbed the man.

The woman was arrested on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and domestic violence. She is identified as Adore Dorsey, 32.
