A city woman is terrified tonight, after her ex boyfriend allegedly almost killed her on Sunday. 18 year old Amber Grenardo came to our studio today pleading for help. She told us she and her boyfriend separated a couple months ago after 3 years of abuse. But Grenardo says he simply does not want to let her go and early Sunday morning around 1:30, while she was asleep, he went into her JR Street house, stabbed her 5 times and chopped her in the head. Here is her horrifying story.

"Tell us what happened early Sunday morning, you were asleep when you were attacked?"

"Yes and then when I woke up I saw him right at the door and I grabbed my machete and he fought me for my machete and he chopped me in my head, then after that he bit me over this side here and afterwards he went and got my kitchen knife and he stabbed me here and here. Hos I escaped, I jumped through the window and I went and called my sister who lives across the street. Then 15 minutes after the police came and took me to the hospital. When I reach at the hospital, they called my mom and told her that the house was on fire. That's all I remember from then."

"This is not the first time that he has threatened you or attacked you?"
Amber Grenardo, Stabbed by Jealous Ex
"This is not the first time, all the time. He is a violent person. I was in an abusive relationship, so I just come out and he told me that if he can't have me, nobody else can have me and he will kill me and the baby. A couple months I had left him and took out a restraining order and he told me that he will never leave me alone. He text me every night and tells me that he will kill me. So I guess he already attempted to kill me and I didn't die. I could have die with this stab right here. He gave me 5 stab wounds and one chop in my head. I just need them to catch him, because I don't feel safe on the streets anymore. I don't even feel safe anywhere I go. I will safe when they catch him and put him where he belongs."
As you heard, he also allegedly burnt her house down on Sunday. Grenardo says she has tried to get away from him many times before but claims that he keeps terrorizing her, sending letters and text messages and threatening to kill her their 2 year old son.
Grenardo also alleges that he had abducted their son when he was only a couple months old, taken him to the Haulover bridge and threatened to drown the child. It has been a nightmare for this young mother and she says she has made a number of police reports and had gotten a restraining order, but nothing has been done and she fears he will come back to kill her the next time.
When we spoke to police this evening , they told us they are aware of the case and have been looking for ex boyfriend Rudolph Belisle as a person of interest. So, if you see this man, please call the nearest police station.
