The police have mounted a search for the arrest of a woman, who allegedly inflicted wounds on the face of a 22-year-old woman, at Tantra Hills, in Accra, on Tuesday.

Maame Nyarkoa, the suspect, who is said to be on the run, was reported to have caused harm to the victim and bolted.

The Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Accra Regional Police Command, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Effia Tenge, confirmed the story to the Ghanaian Times, in Accra, yesterday.

She said the victim’s mother, Grace Boateng, lodged a complaint at the Mile ‘ 7’ Police Station, in Accra, that Maame Nyarkoa had inflicted wounds on her daughter, Priscilla Konya’s face with a mosquito coil stand.
