A woman accused of assaulting a teenager and swinging a knife at another person was arrested Tuesday night after barricading herself inside a Sacramento home, according to police.
Sacramento officers were called shortly after 6:30 p.m. to the 20 block of Howe Avenue following a report of an assault. Police said the situation escalated when the woman allegedly swung a knife at someone before retreating into a nearby home.
The incident led police to bring in crisis negotiators and a SWAT team as officers worked to resolve the standoff safely.
Police later said a 15-year-old had been punched during the incident and that the teenager’s parent was also injured. Both victims were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
After several hours at the scene, officers were able to take the woman into custody shortly before 11 p.m. Police said she was safely arrested.
The suspect’s identity has not been released.
The circumstances that led to the initial confrontation, including what may have happened before the alleged assault, have not been fully detailed by police. The investigation remains ongoing, and additional information could be released as authorities continue reviewing the incident.
No further details about possible charges were immediately available.
