Assault with Deadly Weapon

On the evening of Friday, June 2nd, a woman was assaulted with a knife on the trail leading from the park visitor center to Kennesaw Avenue/Burnt Hickory fire road. The woman told ranger Anthony Winegar that she’d been running on the trail when someone grabbed her from behind and placed a knife to her neck. The woman said that she was able to head butt her assailant with the back of her head and that she was then able to get away from him. Winegar and Cobb County officers searched the entire area, but were unable to find the assailant. The woman was treated for minor scratches and drover herself home. The case is still under investigation.
