HOLLIDAYSBURG A registered nurse for UPMC’s Family Hospice and Palliative Care agency held a courtroom spellbound Tuesday as she related how she survived a brutal knife attack upon visiting the home of one of her patients.
For seemingly no reason, the patient’s 15-year-old grandson, identified as Michael Douglas Watson of Stone Row Drive near Williamsburg, while escorting her out of his grandfather’s home, struck her on the back as she was about to enter her car.
She turned and looked at him and saw a knife.
He struck her in the abdomen with the knife also described as a sword during the lengthy hearing before Blair County President Judge Elizabeth Doyle.
