A North Carolina repeat offender arrested in Florida for allegedly stabbing a pregnant mom with a steak knife

in what police are calling a random attack.

The Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department announced the arrest of Marvina Butler Hardy,

accused of stabbing a pregnant woman in the parking lot of the Harris Teeter grocery store

in Cotswold on March 18th.

We need medic, we're at the Sharon Amity, here's Cedar.

It's only just stabbed by someone. They got

out of their car and stabbed them. She's 38. And you're pregnant? And she's pregnant.

A bystander called 911 after witnessing the attack with officers responding to a stabbing report.

The pregnant woman sustained non-life-threatening injuries and is expected to make a full recovery.

According to law enforcement, Butler Hardy had no connection to the victim.

This time it appears that the victim and the suspect did not know each other and had no prior

interaction. Officers allege Butler approached the female victim outside the grocery store

at approximately 1130 a.m. The 38-year-old mother says

she was getting her toddler out of their car seat when Butler Hardy, who pulled out of the space

behind her, stopped her car, got out, cursed, and attacked her with a knife. Quote, I was facing my

toddler, getting him out of his seat, and thankfully turned turned around and she was coming at me with

a steak knife. I pushed and kicked and screamed and thankfully I think that scared her off.
