Woman with a knife barricaded inside Sacramento home after reports of assault, police say<\/p>\n

\"JeremiahSACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014<\/p>\n

A woman allegedly armed with a knife is barricaded inside her home at a Sacramento apartment complex after two people went to the hospital following reports of an assault, according to police. <\/p>\n

The Sacramento Police Department said officers responded after 6:30 p.m. Tuesday to reports of an assault in the 20 block of Howe Avenue near Highway 50 and north of Folsom Boulevard. <\/p>\n

Police said the woman punched a 15-year-old and the teenager’s parent sustained a minor injury. They were both sent to the hospital following the attack.<\/p>\n

The woman also allegedly swung a knife at a victim, police said. <\/p>\n

A SWAT team and crisis negotiators were deployed to the Powell’s Landing apartment complex to try to get the woman to surrender. <\/p>\n

Ian Johnson, who lives in the complex, told KCRA 3’s Anahita Jafary he was inside his room when he heard a woman fighting with others. He said he tried to pull the woman off the other people, but she started attacking him. <\/p>\n

He added that he fought back and she ran off, but came back with a kitchen knife and used it to cut him, leaving a mark on his neck. <\/p>\n

“I didn’t even feel it at first because when I drop-kicked her in the face, she got it under my shirt and the knife came and got me,” Johnson said. “I didn’t even realize it. I was so focused on keeping her away from everyone else so no one else got hurt.” <\/p>\n

Witnesses also told Jafary that the teen and parent attacked were a mother and daughter. <\/p>\n
