the victim told Pelletier, "You don't have the balls to do it," at which time she grabbed the knife from a table and stabbed him on the left side of his chest.
According to the arrest report, Pelletier initially claimed that the victim had a seizure and accidentally stabbed himself by falling on the knife.
Deputies said the couple has a 6-month-old daughter together. She was inside her crib during the incident.
The victim was taken to North Broward Medical Center, where he underwent a seven-hour open heart surgery, authorities said.
