In the US, a man is charged with aggravated assault after allegedly attacking a transgender woman with a sword at Pittsburgh’s Wyndham Grand Hotel.

Local news stations, ABC 4 WTAE, CBS KDKA and WPXI 11, report that the incident happened after 1 a.m. on Thursday (4 July). A man named Jake O’Leary, aged 26, from Greenville, South Carolina, was named the aggressor.

He allegedly asked a group of three people, including the victim, to come to Pittsburgh a day earlier, offering his room at the Wyndham Grand for them to sleep over until their room was ready.

After going to bed, O’Leary allegedly got up to brandish a sword, yelling – as CBS KDKA quoted the victims – to the effect of ‘Allah does not approve’ before swinging the sword at the room occupants.

While shielding themselves, the victim was struck multiple times, ABC 4 WTAE reported.

The victim notified the police ‘while bleeding and screaming in the hallway,’ local news stations wrote. Police found blood stains near the room where the attack happened at the fifth floor, with the sword on the entryway to the room.

The victim brought themselves to the hospital while having a severe cut on their hand.

At some point during the incident, O’Leary’s face was injured and was taken to the hospital before being taken to jail, ABC 4 WTAE added.

O’Leary will go to court for a preliminary hearing on July 15.

Anthrocon 参与者在匹兹堡酒店遭剑砍伤 涉嫌男子待预审

美国一名男子被指控在匹兹堡温德姆大酒店持剑袭击一名跨性别女性，面临严重伤害罪指控。

据当地电视台 ABC 4 WTAE、CBS KDKA 和 WPXI 11 报道，这起事件发生在周四（7月4日）凌晨1点后。来自南卡罗来纳州格林维尔的26岁男子杰克·奥利里(Jake O’Leary)被指认为袭击者。

据称，他提前一天邀请了包括受害者在内的三人来到匹兹堡，并让他们在他的匹兹堡温德姆大酒店（Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh）房间里过夜，直到他们的房间准备就绪。

CBS KDKA 写道，受害者说奥利里在大家入睡后突然起身，大喊“安拉不赞同”（大意如此），然后开始向房间里的其他人挥剑。

据 ABC 4 WTAE 报道，受害者在自我保护时被多次砍伤。

当地新闻台写道，受害者“在走廊上流血尖叫”时向警方报案。警方在五楼袭击发生的房间附近发现了血迹，剑则在房间入口处。

受害者手部被严重割伤，自行前往医院。

据 ABC 4 WTAE 补充报道，在事件发生过程中，奥利里的脸部受伤，被送往医院治疗后被送进监狱。奥利里将于7月15日出庭接受预审。
