Officers were called to the Heart of Lancaster Hospital on
Friday evening for a report of a woman who had been burned as a result of an
assault.
According to police, the 43-year-old woman and her
7-year-old child had been staying with Hackman at his apartment along East Main
Street for the past month.
The investigation revealed that Hackman had been
beating the woman over the course of several days, authorities said.
During one of the assaults, the woman told
police Hackman poured lighter fuel on her genital area and lit her on fire. She
suffered second and third-degree burns over her stomach, genital area and inner
thighs, police said. She was treated a local hospital and then
transferred to the Leigh Valley Hospital Burn Center.
The victim told investigators that Hackman also locked her
child in a closet for 20 minutes after he acted out when Hackman beat her,
police said.
Hackman was arrested and taken to Lancaster County Prison in
lieu of $500,000 bail.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Sept. 23.
