ROSEVILLE, MI (AP) -- Police say a Roseville woman has been arrested after lighting her husband on fire and attempting to stab him in front of the couple's two children.
Police tell The Macomb Daily of Mount Clemens that the unidentified woman poured rubbing alcohol or nail polish on the man about 7:30 p.m. Sunday and ignited it with a cigarette lighter. They say she also chased him around their apartment with a knife.
Authorities say the man was being treated at Henry Ford Macomb Hospital in Warren for serious burns to his chest and legs. His condition was not immediately known.
The woman remains held and is expected to face criminal charges Monday in 39-A District Court in Roseville, about 10 miles northeast of Detroit.
