17-year-old Sergio Noe De Nova Duarte faces charges of aggravated kidnapping with the intent to inflict bodily injury, a first degree felony, and is currently held at the Collin County Detention facility, police said.
Duarte allegedly struck the jogger with a hammer in the 2300 block of Shiloh Road around 5 p.m. Thursday, according to a statement by police. He fled the scene, police said, and the woman was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries by Plano Fire-Rescue.
