JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — VIDEO: Jacksonville McDonald's employee slaps customer

A Jacksonville woman lost part of her toe in a fight that apparently started because of a post on Facebook, according to police.

On Tuesday at 11:47 p.m., an officer responded to a call about a battery with injuries at a residence in the 1700 block of W 27th Street.

A complainant told the officer she called police saying a woman would not leave her property, but she had left the area by the time the officer arrived.

The caller had told 911 that a woman threw a brick at her. Once the officer arrived at the scene, the caller said no one threw a brick and no one was injured.

Shortly after the officer had left the residence, the woman initially accused of throwing a brick flagged down an officer at the 4500 block of Moncrief Road saying she had been battered, the police report said.

The accused woman, who is identified as the victim in the police report, said she was in the front yard of the home, talking to her boyfriend. She said 19-year-old Gionet Dennis exited the residence and started yelling for the victim to get off her property.

The victim told the officer she began yelling back and the two got into a fight.

The victim's boyfriend tried to stop the fight by standing in the middle of the women. As the victim tried to flee by getting into her car, Dennis threw a brick at the vehicle, which landed on the victim's toe, the police report said.

The victim was able to leave the area, police said.

According to the police report, the boyfriend had told the officer he was trying to get the victim to leave the residence because he said Dennis was mad and posting on Facebook.

The police report said the victim's toe was severely injured and appeared disfigured. The officer noted the tip of her toe was no longer attached.

A Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department responded and treated the victim's injuries.

Dennis was arrested and taken to a pretrial facility.
