SAN DIEGO – A judge last week delayed the preliminary hearing to Aug. 25 for a woman charged with stabbing two men in Ocean Beach after yelling, “That’s not how you treat a lady!”
Jana Nichole Halaska, 29, appeared before San Diego Superior Court Judge Dwayne Moring on June 25 and delayed the hearing at her attorney’s request.
Halaska has pleaded not guilty to attempted murder of Gabriel Milan and assault with a deadly weapon on Christopher Abrahamsen, both of whom were seriously injured on April 13.
The assault took place at 1:06 a.m. at Bacon Street and Newport Avenue. Both men were strangers to Halaska, but Milan had a brief argument with one woman and kicked her, according to a court document.
A second woman came forward and yelled, “That’s not how you treat a lady!” and stabbed him several times, according to records. Milan was stabbed in the back, shoulder, and chest, and had a collapsed lung.
Abrahamsen, 36, also suffered a collapsed lung and said he had damage to his diaphragm and heart in his GoFundMe request he filed seeking funds for his hospitalization.
Halaska was arrested April 29 in Hillcrest. She has denied the charges and remains in the Las Colinas Women’s Detention Facility on $500,000 bail.
