YOUNGSTOWN — A woman, 36, was booked into the Mahoning County jail Wednesday after an incident on Bonnie Brae Avenue on the South Side in which she is accused of assaulting a man with jumper cables and damaging a building.

Officers were called to the home near Lanterman’s Mill at 2:25 p.m. for a fight with a weapon and found the woman in the driveway holding jumper cables for a motor vehicle.

The woman was told to drop the jumper cables. She complied “after a few minutes,” the report states. She had a slight cut on her lip. A man then came around the corner of the house “favoring” his left hand, which was bleeding. The two started to argue, the report states.

One officer spoke with the man, and another officer spoke with the woman. The man said he had just returned home, and the woman arrived a couple of minutes later.

The woman was carrying a hammer and walked up to a window in the apartment building and hit the glass, breaking it. He said he yelled at her to stop. She turned and swung it at him, he said. He grabbed the hammer and got it away from her. He threw it on top of a shed. The woman grabbed items in the driveway to throw at the man’s vehicle, such as a cinder block, but the man stopped her from throwing them, as she has done in the past, the report states.

He ordered her to leave, but she grabbed jumper cables from the driveway, striking the man with them several times, cutting two fingers with the metal clamps on the end. One of his fingers was bleeding. The man said he and the woman do not live together or have children together. He refused medical attention.

A witness told officers that he or she saw the woman carrying the hammer and striking the window with it, then trying to hit the man with it and then hitting the man with the jumper cables multiple times.

The woman was told she was being arrested and was taken to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital, then taken to the county jail. The report does not say why she was taken to the hospital.

Youngstown Municipal Court does not contain any new charges for the woman. It is not known what charges may be filed against her after city prosecutors review the matter.
