A woman assaults a man with a hammer after witnesses say he was “disrespectful” towards her.
Lincoln Police Officer Luke Bonkiewicz said officers were sent to a residence in the 800 block of North 26th street close to 3 AM Sunday after receiving reports of an assault.
Officers contacted a 67-year-old victim as well as a witness, who told officers the man was struck by 39-year-old Elina Sturgeon after a disagreement.
“Witnesses explained that the victim had been what they described as “disrespectful” to Ms. Sturgeon, including asking her to have sex with him, which is why Sturgeon became upset and struck him with the hammer,” said Bonkiewicz.
The victim’s injury is non-life threatening
Sturgeon was lodged for 2nd-degree assault.
