Fleet Farm employee injured in attack at Carver store

A Fleet Farm employee was sent to the hospital after being assaulted at the Carver store Sunday afternoon.

Law enforcement was called to the store, located at 1935 Levi Griffin Road, after 2 p.m. Sunday, said Lt. Jason Breunig, a spokesman for the Carver County Sheriff’s Office. A woman who was assaulted with what investigators believe may have been an “edged weapon,” Breunig said.

“We believe a weapon was involved, but it’s still under investigation,” he said.

A man was arrested and is being held in the Carver County Jail. No charges were filed Sunday night.

The employee suffered a neck injury and was hospitalized. However, her injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

Breunig did not provide further details. He said more information should be released in the coming week.
