Officer responds to call about a naked couple fighting in the street.

Got to love South Carolina.

A Greenville man was arrested Sunday night after police say he and his pregnant live-in girlfriend were scuffling naked in the street, with a plastic sword and an unleashed pit bull nearby.

Adam Michael Parzych, 29, of 45 E. Faris Road, was charged with criminal domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature in connection with the incident, according to an arrest warrant. Parzych choked and beat his girlfriend, who is pregnant with his child, the warrant alleges.

A motorist flagged down police officer M.C. Hunter near the city fire station on Augusta Road and told the officer that a man was assaulting a woman in the middle of the road just down the street, according to a police incident report.

Numerous cars were stopped in the roadway where a man and a woman, both naked, were struggling, the report states. The man was trying to grab the woman. Near the two was a plastic sword and a pit bull off its leash.

The officer ordered the man to put his hands up and move away from the woman. The officer tried to approach the man but couldn't because of the pit bull, until the woman secured the dog. The woman put on a robe and gave the officer a blanket to cover the handcuffed man, whom the officer noticed had a superficial wound to his chest.

The man told the officer that he and his girlfriend had gotten into an argument and that his girlfriend had tried to stab him, the report states. The man told the officer that he thought he was stabbed in the heart. While EMS treated the man, he began to regurgitate and complain that he was throwing up blood, the report states.

Emergency workers told the man that it wasn't blood but instead the red wine he had been drinking earlier.

The woman told the officer that she and her boyfriend got into an argument during dinner, when the man got drunk and became sexually aroused, the report states. The woman said she wanted to go to sleep and the man became outraged, threw her on the bed and began choking her with both hands and striking her, the report states.

She said the man threatened to kill her, grabbed a knife from a nearby closet door and held the knife to her throat, the report states. She said the man then turned the knife toward himself and told the woman to kill him, the report states. She said that after refusing and throwing the knife to the floor, the man picked the knife up and turned it on himself again.

She said that as she tried to break free, the knife entered the man's chest and bent the tip of the blade. She said that while the man was disoriented, she broke free and ran into the street to flag down help.

She said no one stopped, so she sat down in the middle of the roadway. Then, she said, the man came out of the house and began to drag her back to the house.

The officer saw visible bruises, cuts and scrapes on the woman's body, the report states. The woman told the officer that she was afraid to prosecute the man because of his history of violence, the report states.
