A South Carolina man slashed his ex-girlfriend’s head and neck with a
“large” knife Friday morning and remains at large, police said.

Deputies responded to a disturbance call from a home in Easley. S.C.
around 7:15 a.m., the Pickens County Sheriff’s Office said in a press
release. When deputies arrived at the home, they found a 36-year-old
woman with lacerations on head and neck, the release said.

The woman told the deputies that her wounds were “caused from being
cut with a large knife,” according to the release. She was taken to
the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery, the release
said.

Investigators identified the slashing suspect as the woman’s
ex-boyfriend, 39-year-old Boyce Derek Lowrance, who fled on foot
moments before sheriff’s deputies arrived at the home, the release
said.

Further evidence determined that a “verbal dispute” inside the home
had turned into a “violent confrontation.” The ex-boyfriend had
produced a knife and cut the victim on her head and neck, police said.

A large “fixed blade knife” was recovered inside the residence and is
believed to be the weapon used in the attack, police said. The suspect
remains at large and is wanted for attempted murder and possession of
a weapon during a violent crime.

Anyone with information is being asked to contact the Pickens County
Sheriff’s office at 864-898-5500.

If she had a gun she could have defended herself.
