Police after midnight Tuesday arrested two residents of a Forest Street apartment following a domestic dispute between them.
At about 11:50 p.m. on Sept. 2, officers responded to a report of the dispute that involved a 36-year-old man and 25-year-old woman, according to police.
Following an investigation, each was charged with third-degree assault and disorderly conduct.
It isn’t clear what the dispute involved, how it turned physical, whether, what the relationship is between the pair or what is the extent of their injuries. Police declined to provide details, saying the incident was a domestic matter.
Under state law, a person is guilty of disorderly conduct when, with intent to cause inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, engages in fighting or in violent, tumultuous or threatening behavior; or by offensive or disorderly conduct, annoys or interferes with another person, among other reasons.
A person is guilty of third-degree assault, according to state law, when “with intent to cause physical injury to another person, he causes such injury to such person or to a third person” or “recklessly causes serious physical injury to another person or “with criminal negligence, he causes physical injury to another person by means of a deadly weapon, a dangerous instrument or an electronic defense weapon.”
Police released the man and woman after they promised to appear Tuesday in state Superior Court in Norwalk.
