A sexually-frustrated Florida woman is accused of slashing her boyfriend in a bloody knife assault because he wasn’t feeling frisky, according to officials.

Katherine Nieves-Tavarez, 27, was charged with aggravated assault in connection to the early Thursday morning attack at a Vero Beach apartment, the TCPalm reported.

Police said an intoxicated Nieves-Tavarez pulled a kitchen knife on her live-in boyfriend after he rejected her advances several times.

Officers responded around 3:30 a.m. to the home, where Nieves-Tavarez answered the door with “blood on her clothing and blood on her hands,” the Miami Herald reported.

The injured man — whose face was covered in blood — fell to the ground when officers arrived.

“She hit me with a knife,” the victim told police. “I can’t see.”

He was taken to Indian River Medical Center, where he was treated for several cuts on his face, according to officials.

Nieves-Tavarez reportedly denied any role in the stabbing and claimed that her boyfriend “came home from being out with a friend and had a scar on his face already,” according to the police report.

She was arrested and booked at Indian River County Jail on $15,000 bail.
