Authorities say a Florida woman was injured in a chainsaw attack Tuesday morning.
Lantana Police Chief Sean Scheller said a woman was walking along the 1200 block of Hypoluxo Road about 7:15 a.m. when a man with a chainsaw jumped out of some bushes near the Super 8 motel and attacked her.
"The victim suffered slash injuries to her chest and hands," Scheller said.
She was taken to a hospital. Her injuries are described as not life-threatening.
Authorities say the woman's attacker was taken into custody.
It wasn't immediately known if the suspect knew the victim.
