MONONA, Wis. — Monona police arrested a man Saturday after he allegedly cut and stabbed his mother several times with a pair of swords.
Authorities said they were sent to an apartment in the 300 block of Owen Road around 9 p.m. for a disturbance call.
When officers arrived, they found the victim with life-threatening injuries. The woman was transported to a local hospital by Monona fire and emergency medical crews.
Police said the suspect, 30-year-old Sylvester J. Mohomes Jr., asked his mother for money and a cell phone. When she said no, he allegedly attacked her with the swords.
“We are working to provide support to the victim, her family, and all who have been impacted by this horrific offense,” Monona Police Chief Brian Chaney Austin said. “I would like to thank our police and fire personnel who took quick action in rendering the scene safe while providing life-saving care to the victim in this case.”
Mohomes Jr. was subsequently arrested and booked on pending charges of attempted first-degree intentional homicide, armed robbery and armed burglary.
