A woman has been accused of stabbing her boyfriend in the stomach - after he refused to have SEX with her because he was tired, say police

Yanilca Ortiz-Burgos reportedly attacked her partner with a knife in front of the couple's three children.

The 37-year-old was arrested and charged with aggravated battery on a person with a deadly weapon and child abuse following the incident at their home in Daytona, Florida on Saturday at 6.12am.

Boyfriend Jose Vega-Hernandez, 46, has stated that he will not press charges, and he is hopeful that she will get some help.

According to the Daytona News-Journal, Vega-Hernandez said: "Supposedly she came to my room because she wanted to be intimate."

She then punched him, and an argument ensued, according to his statement.

Three children - aged nine, 10 and 17 - were at home when it happened.

When police arrived, the couple were outside, Vega-Hernandez with a superficial wound to his stomach and Ortiz-Burgos with a bleeding injury on her right hand.

A 17-year-old boy was attempting to break up their fight.

Ortiz-Burgos attacked Vega-Hernandez after coming to his room following drinking all night because he refused to have sex with her, according to police.

Ortiz-Burgos said he told her he was "too tired" to have sex, which made her upset, but she denied using the knife to attack him.

He added: "One thing is certain - this relationship is over.”

It is unclear whether or not she will appear in court over the incident.
