CINCINNATI — A Cincinnati man is facing felony assault charges after allegedly attacking a woman with a hammer in the West End, according to court documents.
Court documents say the incident happened in the 800 block of Wade Walk on New Year's Day, and that 39-year-old Anthony Jackson did "knowingly cause serious harm" to the woman.
In court Friday, Jackson pleaded not guilty. His defense told the judge the woman arrived at Jackson's home carrying a gun while another woman was present.
Police said the woman remains in the hospital in a neck brace and has serious injuries, including puncture wounds.
Police requested a no-firearms order and brought up Jackson's prior criminal history as a concern.
A judge set Jackson's bond at $500,000.
