A 33-year-old woman sustained injuries in the head and hand after she was stabbed by her father at their home in Barangay Nalsian, Calasiao, Pangasinan.

Based on police investigation, the victim was in her room when her father suddenly entered with a knife and started stabbing her.

The woman managed to escape and was taken to the hospital immediately with the help of neighbors.

Police said the father stabbed his daughter allegedly because she no longer went home often.

"Kasi hindi na umuuwi ‘yung anak doon, [‘yun] ang naging ugat ng hindi nila pagkakaintindihan ng mag-ama," PLT. Noel Domalanta, Duty Officer of Calasiao Police Station, said.

The 66-year-old suspect was arrested. The knife used in the attack, which measured over 10 inches in length, was recovered.

"Humihingi ako ng tawad sa kanya dahil nagkamali ako… sana mapapatawad pa niya ako dahil mahal ko ‘yung anak ko," the suspect said.

The suspect will face charges of frustrated parricide.
