NH man charged with slashing woman's throat

ROCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Rochester, N.H., police say a man is facing charges of slashing of his girlfriend's throat with a kitchen knife.

Police tell WMUR-TV that the 38-year-old victim woman, who was not identified, ran into the Rochester police station bleeding from her neck Friday afternoon. She told officers that her boyfriend, 40-year-old Nathan Fisher, had cut her throat during an argument at their apartment.

The woman was taken to Frisbie Memorial Hospital and was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Police found Fisher at the apartment, but due to medical complications he was taken to the hospital, where he remained unresponsive for several hours.

After Fisher regained consciousness, he was arrested on charges of first-degree assault, criminal restraint, criminal threatening and simple assault.
