A witness contacted the security guard and when he approached the woman, she slashed him on the head and neck. As the struggle continued, she stabbed him under the chin, but with the help of a customer, he managed to get the knife away from the suspect and handcuff her.
The guard, identified as Officer G. Ortiz was taken to University Hospital. He’s an officer with the Floresville Police Department.
The woman is charged with aggravated assault and aggravated assault of a public servant.
