Officers responded to a home on Dix Street around 3:30 a.m. after getting a report of an aggravated assault.
Investigators learned that 56-year-old Patricia Knotts was involved in a verbal argument with her 55-year-old neighbor when it escalated into a physical confrontation.

The neighbor, who officers said was bleeding profusely, was treated by medical personnel at the scene and was then transported to Yale-New Haven Hospital.
Knotts was arrested and is facing an assault charge. She was detained on a $1,500 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on February 19.
