Robert L. Patton, 47, was arrested by Officers Thomas Herbert and John Sullivan shortly after the incident at 7:20 p.m. Tuesday. He was charged with second-degree assault and criminal possession of a weapon for allegedly cutting the woman’s neck and threatening to “cut deeper,” according to a police document. The woman sought medical attention on her own after Patton’s arrest.
