A Harpswell woman is in Cumberland County Jail on charges she stabbed her husband this morning.

Misun Crawford, 28, was arrested just after 7 a.m. Her husband was taken to Maine Medical Center for surgery and is expected to be released later today, according to the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office.

Authorities say Crawford attacked her husband, James Crawford, 58, with a steak knife, cutting his hand and wounding him twice in the torso, according to Capt. Shawn O’Leary of the sheriff’s office.

The woman attacked her husband at their house at 10 Log Drive in the Cundy’s Harbor section of town. He fled with the couple’s 4-year-old son to a neighbor’s house, O’Leary said. The resident took the child while James Crawford wrestled the knife away from Misun Crawford.

The child was not hurt.

Misun Crawford is being held on $100,000 bail on charges of elevated aggravated domestic violence assault.
