FT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami/AP) - A Boynton Beach man who pushed his grandmother to the floor and cut a young child on the lip with a knife reportedly told police "the devil" made him do it.

Police say it began when Ricardo Dor, 24, got into an argument with his grandmother over a television remote control.

Investigators say Dor pushed his grandmother to the floor, chased his pregnant cousin and then used a kitchen knife to slash through a window screen, cutting the lip of a three-year-old child standing on a couch. Dor told police he snapped because people in the house were mean to him.
