INDIANAPOLIS -- Police arrested a 24-year-old woman accused of attacking two people at the Indiana State Fairgrounds with a boxcutter Tuesday night.
Keionyae Gray, 24, was arrested on a preliminary charge of aggravated battery following the attack. Two felony counts of battery by means of a deadly weapon were filed against her in Marion County Superior Court on Thursday.
According to a probable cause affidavit filed in the case, an Indiana State Trooper responded to a fight between three women at the midway at the State Fairgrounds just before 9 p.m. Tuesday.
The trooper arrived to find a woman, later identified as Gray, striking another woman with what appeared to be a silver knife.
The knife was later determined to be a boxcutter.
As the trooper tried to separate the women, Gray allegedly struck at her victim again – but missed and struck herself in the hand instead.
Gray then managed to get away and fled toward Gate 18.
The victim, who suffered a cut to her arm, told police she only stepped in because Gray had stabbed a pregnant woman in the back with the boxcutter. That woman eventually arrived at the Indiana State Police Command Center at the fairgrounds with a large cut on her back.
Gray herself was located after she went to a medical tent seeking treatment for the cut on her left hand.
Gray’s aunt and mother were questioned by police about the attack, but her mother said she didn’t see who cut the victims because she had been knocked out of her wheelchair during the altercation.
The victims identified Gray as the person who cut them.
Gray was released from the Marion County Jail on Friday on a $20,000 bond.
