LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A man was arrested Wednesday after attacking a woman at a west Lincoln home, police say.

Around 3 p.m., officers were sent to a home near Northwest 22nd and O streets on a report of a weapons violation.

Police said Tristan Jackson, 48, went to a woman’s home to get a cellphone, which was left there the night before.

Jackson became “upset” and hit the woman in the face, according to police.

He then pulled out a knife from his pocket and swung it at her, police said.

The victim had minor injuries to her face and a small cut on her left arm.

Officers recovered the knife at the scene and later found Jackson at a home near 13th and South streets.

He was arrested on suspicion of second-degree assault and use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony.
