Once on scene officers located an adult female who indicated that she was the victim of a battery perpetrated by a male acquaintance.

The suspect was transported from the scene to a local hospital for evaluation. Charges are pending.
This incident remains under investigation by the Fort Wayne Police Department and the Allen County Prosecutors office.
