Busted Boyfriend

At 9 p.m. on Wednesday, May 1, a 42-year-old man got into an argument with his 44-year-old girlfriend at their apartment on W. 72nd Street. As the argument escalated, the man threw multiple aluminum cans of food at his girlfriend. One of the cans struck her in her right arm, causing a bruise. The man then put his hands around her neck and tried to choke her. She managed to escape his grasp and called the police. When the police arrived and attempted to cuff the boyfriend, the man locked his arms and flailed in an attempt to prevent the cuffing. The bruiser was arrested on May 2 and charged with assault.
