Ben Carson admits that he made up the names of his childhood victims.

“I don’t like to generally bring them in, the names I used for instance are fictitious names because I don’t want to bring people into something like this because I know what you guys do to their lives‎,” Carson told reporters in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

In a later interview with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly, he said that the person he tried to stab during his youth was a “close relative.” Carson said he spoke with the relative earlier Thursday, who told the retired neurosurgeon they did not want to be revealed.

“I didn’t want to put their lives under the spotlight,” Carson told Kelly.

Carson had previously said the stabbing victim was a friend.
