EATONTOWN — A woman struck her live-in boyfriend in the back of the neck with a machete during a domestic dispute and then fled, police said Friday.
The man was taken to Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch with superficial injuries, police Sgt. Troy Fowlkes said. Police would not identify either person involved.
The incident happened around 8 p.m. Friday inside the apartment the two share on Eatoncrest Drive, Fowlkes said. After the woman struck the man once with the serrated edge of the machete, she left in a white Mercedes E 350 with Florida plates, he said.
Police were still looking for her Friday night. Police would not say if she left the machete or took it with her.
She is described as being 5-foot, 3-inches tall, about 160 pounds with brown hair, Fowlkes said.
The woman faces charges of aggravated assault, possession of an unlawful weapon for an unlawful purpose and domestic charges, Fowlkes said.
Anyone with information that could help police should call the department at 732-542-0100.
