A 20-year-old Lincoln woman has been arrested in connection to a slashing a week ago that sent a man to the hospital with an injury to his hand.
The Lancaster County Attorney's Office on Monday charged Angella Harman Banzi with second-degree assault and possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony.
Police said the slashing happened at about 11 p.m. July 24 near 19th and G streets, where a 42-year-old Lincoln man said he had been arguing with a woman he knew when she swung a knife at him and cut his hand.
She had fled before Lincoln Police arrived. The man was transported to an area hospital.
Then, just before 7 p.m. Friday, police were called to an assault at El Chaparro at 13th and F, where they found Banzi and another woman bleeding. They told police they had been sitting in a booth at the restaurant when the 42-year-old man who had been the victim of the earlier slashing came in and attacked Banzi. The other woman was assaulted, too.Â
