"Campos went back and grabbed Williams and was yelling, 'Say it again’ repeatedly," Pasco Police Sgt. Scott Warren told the newspaper.
According to authorities, Campos put Williams in a headlock and held a knife to his throat, with Williams pulling his own knife in self-defense, but unsuccessfully.
Williams suffered a 1-inch wound to his windpipe, according to the newspaper.
