Muncie man charged for stabbing brother, niece

A Muncie man is accused of stabbing his brother and niece.

The Muncie Star Press says Matthew VanMatre was intoxicated when he made comments about killing another person in the home before repeatedly striking his niece.

Police say VanMatre then grabbed a knife and stabbed his brother in the back of his neck, abdomen, hip and lower back.

He then stabbed his niece in the arm, who hit him in the back with a chair while defending her father. The girl was okay, but her father had to go to IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital for surgery.

The Star Press said that VanMatre is accused of attempted murder, intimidation, strangulation and four different counts of battery.
