Police arrested a man and woman when a fight over a parking spot turned ugly in Murray on Wednesday.
The fight started about 7:30 p.m., when a 20-year-old woman driving a car cut off a 26-year-old man in an SUV and took his parking spot, said Murray police Detective Kenny Bass.
They argued in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven store at 5900 South and State Street, and the argument grew increasingly heated.
Then the man pulled a small red bat out of his SUV and hit the woman in the elbow, according to a jail booking statement. She grabbed a knife and was charging the man with it when police arrived.
Both people were arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault.
