He got too close after acting as if he had nothing to apologise for and then pushed me.
So I hit him, got him in a bear hug and we struggled into the living room
He managed to snag a knife from the wood block we keep them in because the bearhug only restrained his upper arms and then after gesturing a few times as if he were going to do it, he stabbed me.
