Man attacked with machete
A 22-year-old woman was arrested Friday night after allegedly assaulting a man with a machete.
Around 10:49 p.m., police received a call about a potential weapon in the area of the 1200 block of Ninth St.
Police say, a woman had forced her way into a home in the 1200 block of 10th St. and assaulted a 21-year-old man.
The woman struck the man numerous times in the arm with a machete, and discharged a can of bear spray while inside the residence, according to police.
She was arrested and charged with break and enter, two counts of assault with a weapon, and two counts of possessing a weapon, and was held for a court date.
The man required medical attention but had sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
