That altercation happened last month at the Mobil Gas Station in the 300 block of West Perkins Ave. in Perkins Twp. The video shows a woman standing at the counter when another woman walks in and pulls a hatchet out of her purse.

The attacker then uses the hatchet to hit the other woman in the head and neck. In the video, you can see the two fall to the floor in the scuffle, pushing open the door while an employee walks over and appears to try to break up the fight.

But it doesn’t stop there.

After the attacker leaves, witnesses told police the woman who was hit reached down to pick up the hatchet off the ground outside. Security video shows a car speeding up and stopping right before hitting her.

The woman who initiated the attack then gets out of the driver’s seat and, according to the police report, picks up a fuzzy sandal she lost during the fight.

Perkins Twp. Police arrested Tayjion Butler, who was 30 at the time of the attack. She’s out of the Erie County Jail on bond, facing two counts of felonious assault, one for the hatchet, the other for the car.

As for the 38-year-old woman who was attacked, police said she was taken to Firelands Regional Medical Center with minor injuries. Investigators are now saying the violent encounter was retaliation for a separate incident that happened months earlier in Sandusky.

Court records show Butler pleaded not guilty to the two charges against her. She’s set for a preliminary hearing in Sandusky Municipal Court on Nov. 18, 2024.
