Detained U.S. Soldier Allegedly Stabbed by Russian Girlfriend Before Doomed Visit
A U.S. Army soldier currently detained in Russia was stabbed by his Russian girlfriend months before his arrest, his wife has claimed.
Staff Sergeant Gordon Black was attacked while making a surprise video call to his 6-year-old daughter in Texas from his overseas tour in South Korea, Megan Black told Reuters. She said she and their daughter watched as Gordon got into a fight with his Russian girlfriend which escalated into screaming and bloodshed.
Megan Black, who was finalizing her divorce with Gordon at the time of his arrest, says his Russian girlfriend could be seen on the call clawing at his face and then pulling out a knife. “She stabbed him,” she said, adding that her husband “had blood on his face” and that their young daughter was distraught during the ordeal.
