“Dear PoPville,
A little after 9 am, near the intersection of 17th and E Street NE, a woman was attacked by another woman holding a steel bar (like rebar or a crowbar). The woman who was attacked was saved by a bystander — a person who lives in the area — and was able to jump into someone’s car, who then apparently drove her to safety.
The woman who attacked her was seen wandering the area after that.
According to at least one person who witnessed the incident, she appeared to be either under the influence of something or having a mental health episode.
Police were informed of all these details and hopefully she’s picked up soon (and gets the help she needs). Hoping the woman who was attacked is also OK, and also gets all the help and care she needs. Super concerned about her.”
