PORTLAND, Oregon — A woman’s hand was almost completely cut off after she was attacked by 51-year-old Clemente Banuelos-Delgado.
It all went down near the 4500 block of Northeast 88th Street, on Wednesday. An assault with a deadly weapon call came in at 7:58 p.m., police said.
When officers arrived, the noticed a machete underneath one of the vehicles on the property, Multnomah County DA Adam Gibbs wrote in court documents.
From KOIN: “When police took Delgado into custody, he said “I hurt someone” when asked if he was injured, Gibbs wrote. The victim told police, before being transported to the hospital, that she was sitting in a chair in the driveway when Delgado went to his car, got an object, returned and swung it, yelling “I’ll f—ing kill you,” Gibbs wrote. The victim raised her arm to protect herself and that’s when she was injured, Gibbs wrote.
The cut to the victim’s arm was far enough through that her hand was “dangling” from the end of her arm, Gibbs wrote.
Officials said the victim and Delgado are known to each other. Her condition Thursday was not immediately released.
Court records show that Delgado was convicted of felony voluntary manslaughter in 1992 in California. Details of the case were not available.”
Delgado, 51, is charged with one count of first-degree assault.
The prosecutor wrote the suspect attacked the woman because he didn’t like how she cleaned a garage. The woman’s hand was “mostly severed,” according to police.
