The police said they received a call for assistance on Friday (Sep 19) at about 11:20 a.m. When officers arrived, a 32-year-old woman was found with lacerations on her head and left hand. She was conscious when taken to the hospital.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the man had allegedly injured the woman with a chopper before fleeing the scene.
