GREENFIELD, Calif. -- A woman and her daughter allegedly stabbed by the daughter's ex-boyfriend were recovering from their wounds Wednesday night.

Mary Terrazas, 58, spoke exclusively to ABC23 News after being released from the hospital Wednesday afternoon. Her daughter, Angelica Ramirez, 20, is still recovering in an area hospital.

"It's a nightmare. I've never been through anything this ugly in my life," Terrazas said.

Ramirez's ex-boyfriend, Diego Garcia, is accused of breaking into their home and stabbing both women repeatedly before he fled to southern California Monday morning.

Tracking him with GPS technology, law enforcement arrested him hours later in Santa Clarita.

"She was holding the baby as he was stabbing her, the baby's clothes were getting all bloody," Terrazas said.

"We didn't know if he was hurt, we were just panicking."

RELATIONSHIP TURNS SOUR

Terrazas said her daughter used to live with Garcia until they broke up. But he would come to their home at odd hours of the night--to the point where they obtained a restraining order against him.

Just four days before the stabbing, Ramirez gave birth to a baby boy, a child Terrazas said Garcia denied was his until he went to the home Monday morning to talk about custody, according to the Sheriff's department.

"The first thing you thought was that the baby was stabbed because he had blood all over him," Ignacio Reyes, Terrazas's son-in-law, said.

NOT GUILTY PLEA

Garcia was arraigned Wednesday afternoon, where he pleaded not guilty to eight felony counts ranging from attempted murder to child cruelty.

"It hurts," Maria Rangel, Garcia's sister, said.

"I mean, yeah, he probably did something bad. But he's still my baby brother and it hurts."

Pointing to wounds on her face and chest, Terrazas considers herself lucky to have survived.

"Look at this, this is what Diego did," she said.

"I'll remember this for the rest of my life."
