Police in Petaluma arrested a woman early Wednesday who allegedly attacked a man with a knife in Lucchesi Park the prior evening, according to authorities.
Police said on Tuesday at around 7:19 p.m., officers responded to a report of an attempted stabbing on the south side of the park. The victim, a 30-year male, told officers he was lying on the ground near the park's community center when a female ran around the building yelling obscenities waving a kitchen knife. The victim said the female suspect made a slashing motion at him, so used a nearby bicycle to keep from being struck.
At around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday, the victim called the police department to report seeing the suspect in a shopping on North McDowell Boulevard. Responding officers located the 35-year-old Coleman and placed her under arrest for assault with a deadly weapon. Police said knife was recovered from Coleman's backpack.
The suspect told police that the victim had in fact started the altercation Tuesday evening, claiming it stemmed from a previous assault in April. Coleman was transported to Sonoma County Main Adult Detention Facility. Police are continuing their investigation into the incident.
