The former girlfriend of a Sioux Falls man allegedly assaulted him at his residence.

Sioux Falls Police Captain Greg VandeKamp says the woman threatened the victim with a metal bar when she entered the home.

"There was a threat of bodily harm at that time. The female then picked up a kitchen knife as she was standing in the kitchen area. She held the knife to his throat and again threatening to kill him. She did put the knife down. Then he walked into the living room area. At that time, she pulled him down and put her hands around his throat. Eventually, she did leave the residence. We were able to make contact with her sometime later."

VandeKamp says 23-year-old Janie Salinas of Sioux Falls was arrested and charged with aggravated assault domestic.
