HICKORY, N.C. (AP) -- Police in western North Carolina have identified a man accused of swinging an ax at a woman while wearing a clown costume.
Multiple media outlets report that the woman has obtained an arrest warrant for 31-year-old Jimmy Raybon of Connelly Springs on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon.
Hickory police spokeswoman Chrystal Dieter says the man came to the woman's Hickory house around 4:30 a.m. Friday wearing a clown mask and a multicolored wig.
Authorities say the man didn't hurt the woman, and she was able to remove his mask and recognized him as an acquaintance before he left.
A motive for the attack was not immediately clear.
