A Long Island man was charged with attempted murder after he allegedly shot a victim, reported by local outlets to be his sister, in the face with a crossbow.
Samy Sedhom, 21, is the suspect in the alleged Feb. 13 crime, according to the Nassau County Police Department in New York.
"According to detectives, officers responded to a West Avenue residence for an aided case. Upon arrival, officers located a 28-year-old female bleeding from a laceration on the right side of her face," said a Monday release.
The release says police determined that Sedhom shot the victim, reportedly his sister, with a crossbow, adding that he was taken into custody without incident.

Court records show that he had his first appearance Wednesday, where he pleaded not guilty and was remanded without bail. A temporary order of protection for the victim was also levied.
KABC reported that Sedhom attempted to shoot the victim as she was entering the garage after returning from the gym. According to that report, police found an arrow stuck in the wall of the garage. They also reportedly searched his room and found a box matching the crossbow, a Katana samurai sword and a computer, which were all seized.
