LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A woman was arrested Friday after she hit a neighbor’s head with a metal pry bar during an argument, Lincoln Police say.

Around 12:30 p.m., a 28-year-old woman reported that she had been assaulted by her neighbor near 56th and Holdrege Streets.

Police say the victim had knocked on 30-year-old Deanita Dill’s front door after their children got into a fight outside.
