Man charged after kidnapping, assaulting woman in Albuquerque bosque

ALBUQUERQUE, NM – The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department say they arrested Reginald Hall, who is accused of stabbing a woman in the bosque and then lighting a fire.

APD arrested Hall after a short pursuit. He is charged with kidnapping, battery, sexual assault, and animal abuse.

The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office says the first call reporting a stabbing in the bosque came in around 7:30 Friday morning.

Officials say Hall came up behind a woman walking her dog, kicked the dog, and then stabbed and sexually assaulted the woman. That’s when witnesses say they saw Hall dragging the woman into the canal.

The woman was brought to the hospital, reunited with her dog, and is now in stable condition.

On Saturday, KOB 4 reached out to Hall’s family and his grandmother told us she is more worried about the woman than her grandson.

“I’m just praying this lady is going to be alright, that is my main concern right now. Him right now no, just this lady,” she said.

The sheriff’s office says they believe Hall started a fire in the bosque before attacking the woman, but as of now, he is not facing any arson charges. This was the third time Hall was arrested this year.
