The husband, who is going through a divorce with his wife, was leaving a building in the area of 4001 S. 700 East about 4:45 p.m. when his wife, at the wheel of an SUV, confronted him, said Salt Lake County sheriff's Lt. Chris Bertram.

She chased him through the parking area, and when the man went into Woodland Towers, she went straight through the doors at a high rate of speed, Bertram said.

She allegedly drove the vehicle through the lobby and into the front lobby area, struck her husband. When she noticed he was not seriously injured, she backed up and tried to hit him again, Bertram said.

He got up on his own, and some people helped him around the corner. Others detained the woman.

The man suffered a serious injury to his ankle area as well as lacerations, cuts, bumps and bruises.

His wife was treated and released at a hospital and booked into jail on suspicion of attempted criminal homicide.
