(AP) — A 40-year-old Lincoln woman is recovering after being stabbed in the face with her own high-heeled shoe.

Lincoln Police Capt. David Beggs said the woman was assaulted early Sunday in a downtown alley while she stood near her car.

Beggs says the victim was approached by a 28-year-old woman, and the two began to argue.

The younger woman grabbed one of the victim’s shoes and struck her in the face with it. Beggs says the shoe stuck in the woman’s cheek, and then the woman punched and kicked the victim.

The 40-year-old was treated at a Lincoln hospital and released.

The 28-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of assault.
