A woman has been charged after a man was allegedly struck with a Samuari sword during a dispute in Liverpool overnight.
During the evening of Saturday 25 May 2019, a 23-year-old man and 29-year-old woman were in a unit on Charles Street.
About 11.30pm the woman left the unit, and the man followed a short time later.
Outside the apartment the two had a further confrontation and the man threw a brick at the woman who produced a Samurai sword.
The man ran from the area until he stopped in a common area of the units to speak with an acquaintance.
At this time the 29-year-old woman approached the man and allegedly swung the sword at this head.
The man raised his right arm to protect his head and the blade struck the forearm causing a deep laceration.
The woman walked away, and the man ran to the Hume Highway where he was able to flag down a passing ambulance. The man was taken to Liverpool Hospital in a stable condition for treatment to his arm.
Officers from Liverpool City Police Area Command were contacted and attended a short time later.
