MISHAWAKA, Ind. -- A woman has been charged with battery for allegedly throwing a knife at her boyfriend's face during an argument, according to court records.

On June 21, 2019, Mishawaka Police responded to a domestic call on Ironwood Drive. When they arrived, they located a man with an injury to his right hand, reports said.
