Responding officers located both the victim and Auguste at the scene. Auguste was taken into custody without incident.
The victim was transported to a nearby hospital for evaluation and treatment. Auguste was also taken to a local hospital for evaluation.
Auguste has been charged with Assault in the Second Degree, Assault in the Third Degree, Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Fourth Degree, and Menacing in the Second Degree.
