Police in Mexico City arrested a Russian woman accused of threatening her elderly husband with a machete during a domestic dispute at a residential complex in the Cuajimalpa de Morelos borough.
The incident occurred on Laureles Street in the upscale Bosque de las Lomas neighborhood, prompting a rapid police response after a report of domestic violence was filed.
