Hana Bihi was placed in handcuffs by officers, whom she gave permission to search her apartment. Officers say that Hana had an, “Obvious injury to her eye, which was swollen.”
Inside her apartment, officers located a knife believed to be the weapon used to stab the victim in the kitchen sink which had soapy water in it. The victim was taken to a local hospital.
At the hospital, an officer spoke with the victim about what happened. The officer could smell an odor of intoxicants from him and his breath.
Earlier in the day, the man recounted, him, Hana and Hana’s relative drove to Milwaukee around 10:30 a.m. Before they left, he said he was involved in a disturbance with Hana in which she began punching him in his face. He claimed he had to defend himself, and, “As a result, grabbed her hands and held them there. He states that he did not punch or strike Hana at any point in time during that disturbance.”
They left for Milwaukee, and around 11 a.m., Hana allegedly went to, “Jump out of the car and just be crazy.” He says they left Hana on the side of the road, were then contacted by authorities to come pick her up. The victim claimed to have, “Picked up meat in Milwaukee and then later drove back to Green Bay.”
When they got back around 8 p.m., he found Hana inside the apartment they share. He had left, then came back between 45 minutes and 2 hours later.
According to the complaint, the victim told the officer that, “She was sleeping in her bedroom and that he began sleeping next to her. He states that she just came up and stabbed him with a knife in the back and then also in the right arm.” He then walked to the kitchen area from the bedroom where he says that she stabbed him one more time on the right arm and struck him in the head with an unknown object.
The officer was also told that he fell down to the floor for about 20 minutes. He then began, “Asking for his cell phone to call police,” which she was reluctant to do but eventually gave it to him. She also started cleaning him up with no success.
The victim also claimed that he drank, “approximately two 16 ounce Natural Ice intoxicating beverages and that Hana had quite a lot of intoxicants.”
Meantime, Hana Bihi was taken to the police station. An officer noted that Hana’s right eye was, “Very swollen. It appeared she could barely open it. Her bottom lip was a little swollen. Hana had what appeared to be some dried blood on her bottom lip. Hana also appeared to have blood that was still wet in her hair near her left ear.”
After initially refusing to speak or provide a statement to police, Hana agreed to tell her side of the story. She told an officer that her and her boyfriend had gotten into a verbal argument about something, “Petty.”
Hana says that sometime during the nighttime hours, he physically attacked her. She says she was struck in the face, “Approximately five times.” He used both of his hands. She fought back with her fists in an attempt to stop him.

She allegedly then walked into the kitchen and grabbed a knife that was sitting on the counter. Hana then told the officer that she, “May have stabbed him more than one time, but she could not remember.” Hana then said she went outside for a cigarette, and that’s likely when he called police.
