A 38-year-old woman is in custody after police say she stabbed her partner to death in Queens.

It happened on 145th Street in South Ozone Park around 6 a.m. Wednesday.

Police say they found a 46-year-old man lying on the floor, stabbed several times in the neck.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said the couple had a history of domestic abuse, citing at least five incidents in the past.

"The perpetrator calls and said 'my husband is covered with blood,'" Kelly said. "The police officers arrive at the scene. They see the perpetrator walking on the street with two children, one 3-year-old and another 12-year-old."

It's unclear if the couple's children were involved.
