Arriving officers found the woman with what's described as "substantial lacerations" to her head. Officers rendered medical aid until EMS arrived.

The woman told police that while she was using the shower, her boyfriend began hitting her in the head with what appeared to be a hammer, officers say. A motive was not released.
