Ladysmith (WQOW) - A Ladysmith man is now charged with attempted murder for a stabbing last weekend.

Charges of attempted first degree reckless homicide were filed Friday against Robert McGinn. He's also charged with causing injury with a dangerous weapon, and aggravated battery.

Police were called to McGinn's home last Sunday night after an argument broke out. He's accused of stabbing his daughter's boyfriend with a knife four times. 19-year old Eric Kowalski underwent surgery for his wounds. McGinn is being held on $25,000 cash bond. He'll be in court on Thursday.
