Woman hospitalized after alleged assault

A 21-year-old woman was hospitalized Sunday night after an alleged altercation with her 20-year-old boyfriend early that morning.

The assault occurred at about 3 a.m. in the 300 block of East Brownstone Drive after the woman’s boyfriend came home from a night of partying, said Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Jeff Canada, reading from a police report.

The victim said in the report that she asked her boyfriend to quiet down, at which point he became upset and bit her left thumb. He then proceeded to twist her arm and told her he would break it if she didn’t stop talking. The victim then grabbed her boyfriend by the throat to get him off her. He continued to beat her and pinned her against the wall of the apartment, choking her and hitting her in the face.

The assaults led to a cut on her right eyebrow and a bruise on her right cheekbone.
The victim and assailant were separated by the victim’s roommate, at which point the assailant left and the victim slept for a few hours until her boyfriend came back later that morning to take some of his belongings from the apartment, Canada said.

The victim asked him for an apology but he said, “You deserve what you got,” according to the report.

That night the victim went to Bloomington Hospital where Paul Post filed the report at 7:50 p.m. Examination at the hospital found she had suffered a broken facial bone as well as a concussion.

BPD is still searching for the suspect, and there have been no arrests in connection to the incident.
