A Little Rock woman was arrested Tuesday, two months after more than 30 people brawled with pepper spray, bricks, a hammer and a baseball bat, court documents said.
Little Rock police arrested Wynese Gantt, 39, on a charge of first-degree battery Tuesday after investigators said video footage showed Gantt striking a child with a hammer during a brawl, an affidavit for Gantt's arrest said.
On July 20, Little Rock police responded to a noise complaint at 10208 Republic Lane, an affidavit for a warrant of arrest said. Officers found four girls near the address, one of whom had been stabbed in the shoulder and pepper-sprayed in the face.
The girls told police that a "large group of girls" had attacked them, and one woman had struck the injured girl with the claw end of a hammer, the affidavit said. The victim was hospitalized for two days and required surgery on her arm.
One victim told detectives that Gantt had called and texted her several times the day of the attack, saying she wanted to fight, the affidavit said. A witness showed police a 28-second video wherein officers said Gantt hits the victim numerous times with an object.
Gantt was arrested on a charge of first-degree battery and was released Thursday after posting a $30,000 bond, according to court records.
