DETROIT — Denver Broncos defensive player Jason Hunter was struck in the left upper chest by a kitchen knife hurled at him by his girlfriend during an argument over cell phones.

Hunter told police the woman waved the knife and told him to stay back before throwing it. She then took her boyfriend to receive medical treatment and later was arrested “after being pointed out by hospital security,” the report said.

The officers who wrote the report said the girlfriend was angry about having found a bag of cell phones, which Hunter claimed “were not his and belonged to his boy.”
