Ozoda Khanomov says her husband carved curse words into her skin, which were discovered by hospital workers.

Hospital workers prepping a Brooklyn woman for childbirth made a horrific discovery - ugly slurs she claimed were carved into her body by her sadistic husband.
Now he's under arrest, accused of using a house key to gouge out chunks of her flesh and then threatening to kill and her baby.
"He started beating me on the day of our wedding," Ozodoa Khakimov, 23, an immigrant from Uzbekistan, told the Daily News. "One time he wrote bad words on my leg, and another time with a key on my neck."
The bizarre mutilation came to light on Friday when Khakimov went to Coney Island Hospital for an emergency C-section.
Staffers discovered scars that spelled out the words "bitch" and "whore" in Cyrillic, the alphabet of her native land, law enforcement sources said.
Shocked hospital staffers called the NYPD, which sent over a cop who speaks Uzbek and translated her tale of horror.
She described how her husband, Ulubek, 26, whom she married in Uzbekistan last December, had sliced the epithets into her skin before they came to U.S. - so he was not charged in connection with those.
But he used a key to carve up her chest, thighs, neck and stomach while the couple lived in Midwood, starting in August and as recently as last week, the victim said.
"On top of that, he was beating me while I was pregnant," said Khakimov, adding that she stayed with her husband because "I thought he was my family."
Just before midnight Friday, Ulubek Khakimov called his wife at the hospital and said he was coming there to kill her and the newborn, Muhammed Ali, court papers say. When he arrived, cops were waiting and arrested him.
He told police his wife was "making the accusations" of mutilation because she wants a divorce, sources said.
He was charged with 27 counts of assault, menacing, criminal possession of a weapon and harassment.
After his arraignment Sunday, he was held in lieu of $100,000 bail.
"I feel safe. I have peace in my mind," Khakimov said of her husband's arrest. "Now I have a son to take care of. I have a new man in my life."
