A North Carolina man is charged with attempted murder after attacking his ex-girlfriend and another person during a domestic dispute Sunday, police said.

Santos Anselmo, 51, faces two counts of attempted first-degree murder for the alleged attack. The attack occurred around 8:45 a.m. Sunday in a home roughly 80 miles east of Raleigh, WITN reported.

Responding officers found a woman with cuts all over her body and another woman who said they were assaulted by Anselmo with a machete, police said. The first woman, who is Anselmo's ex-girlfriend, was taken to a hospital. Her condition is unknown. The second woman's identity was not released.

Anselmo fled the scene before authorities arrived, WNCT reported. His getaway vehicle was found wrecked and abandoned a few miles away, the report said.

Authorities found Anselmo on Monday hiding in an abandoned house in neighboring Greene County. He was apprehended and taken to a hospital to treat injuries he incurred in the vehicle crash, WCTI reported.
