A man is charged with aggravated assault after cutting another person with a butcher knife.

It happened July 4, around 9:00 a.m. at 750 East Pinetree Boulevard in Thomasville.

According to Thomas County Sheriff Steve Jones, Jose Alberto Brillas, 32, pulled out a butcher knife during an argument with his ex-girlfriend.

When the ex-girlfriends sister, 38-year-old Beata Ray, stepped in to protect her, Brillas cut Ray on both hands.

He then fled the scene, but was later located by deputies and taken into custody.
