PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A man was charged with attempted murder for allegedly attacking his wife with a meat cleaver, police said. Police found Roberta McCullough, 61, in a pool of blood in her North Philadelphia apartment early Sunday with injuries to her face, head, hands and arm.

Her husband, Michael McCullough, 44, was outside the home when they arrived, said Sgt. Michael Dougherty. Dougherty said McCullough told police: "I think I killed my wife."

After 14 hours of surgery, Roberta McCullough was in critical but stable condition at Hahnemann University Hospital late Sunday, officials said. A hospital spokeswoman wouldn't comment Monday on her condition.

"Because of her head wounds it looked like her husband whacked her in the head from behind, then got on top of her and whacked her again in the head," Dougherty said.
