A man was stabbed Tuesday during a violent confrontation with an abortion protester outside a Planned Parenthood health center, police said.
Ted Clair was stabbed seven times in the abdomen and neck during a fight with Christopher Tolhurst, who had signs denouncing abortion and Planned Parenthood, officials said.

Local resident Charlotte Cook said Tolhurst accosted people coming and going through the area.

"It was an accident looking for a place to happen," she told the AP.

Cherie Adams told the news agency that the protester would shout obscenities at her when she passed by him, which has led her to change he route to work.

“He's been out there for months," she told the AP.

"He's screaming at people. I had a feeling something like this would happen,” the AP quoted her as saying.
