Sioux Falls Police responded to a domestic situation around midnight Tuesday at an apartment on East 14 Street.

Police Information Sam Clemens says a woman was involved in a physical confrontation.

"The man, who is a transient, was in a different apartment in the building. She left her apartment and confronted him with a knife. She actually tackled him and bit him in the face. When that happened, they ended up separating. She went back to her apartment."

Once police arrived at the apartment and sorted everything else, Clemens says the two were placed under arrest.

"The woman was arrested for the aggravated assault domestic and he was arrested for violating a protection order."

Clemens says the two had an on again off again relationship.
