Share this @internewscast.com

A woman from South Miami finds herself under arrest, accused of a violent altercation involving a machete that left her boyfriend injured. This troubling incident reportedly took place at her residence, as per recent reports.

Authorities were first alerted to the situation when they encountered the victim at the South Miami Hospital Emergency Department. There, medical staff were treating him for a serious “deep laceration” on his right elbow, according to Law&Crime.

The injured man detailed the events leading to his injury to investigators, pointing to an argument with his girlfriend, identified as 49-year-old Liz Frechel, as the cause, the outlet reported.

This heated dispute allegedly originated on the evening of November 20 during a dinner date at a Texas Roadhouse restaurant in Fontainebleau. The confrontation escalated when the man confronted Frechel about a photograph that seemed to show her in an intimate embrace with another man. Feeling betrayed, he reportedly left Frechel at the restaurant, sparking the subsequent altercation.

The man said the couple argued after he confronted Frechel over a photo that appeared to show her hugging and holding hands with another man.  He told police he then left Frechel at the restaurant.

The situation reportedly worsened the following day, Nov. 21, when the man drove to Frechel’s home near Southwest 72nd Street and 62nd Avenue in Miami to return her medication, glasses, and a mug. 

At that point, he said, Frechel became enraged and yelled at him, per the report.

Police arrested Liz Frechel and booked her into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. 

Police said that once he was in Frechel’s bedroom, she “locked him inside the bedroom against his will.” She then allegedly told him, “You are not going anywhere, you son of a b—. You’re going to pay.” Frechel then went into her closet and pulled out a machete, police said.

Per Law&Crime, the arrest report states that the boyfriend tried to grab his keys and make a run for it, but Frechel allegedly swiped the machete at him and sliced his right elbow while she shouted, “I’m going to kill you, you son of a b—!”

The boyfriend ran out of the apartment and back to his car and drove himself to the hospital with a wound on his elbow.

Police arrested Frechel shortly after 7:15 p.m. that evening at her home. She was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center just before midnight, per reports.

According to records seen by Fox News Digital, Frechel faced three serious charges: aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, attempted murder with a deadly weapon, and false imprisonment with a deadly weapon.

Frechel appeared in bond court on Nov. 22, where a Miami-Dade judge ordered her to have no contact with the victim. 

The court denied bond on the attempted murder charge and set a combined $15,000 bond for the aggravated battery and false imprisonment counts, according to documents filed.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Miami-Dade Police Department and Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation for comment.
