The police said that the woman told them that her boyfriend had beaten her several times that day so the man was arrested for simple domestic assault.

Sgt. Franco told WVLT, “Her nose was bloody, bruising on her chin, bruising on the top of her head. You can tell she had been a victim of some type of assault.”

Most Dangerous Calls

The U.S. Department of Justice said that from 2010 to 2016, some 40 percent of calls that ended with police fatalities were related to domestic violence. That’s why the police never go to a domestic violence call alone.
