Woman assaulted

WARREN

A city woman, 21, was treated at ValleyCare Trumbull Memorial Hospital for a large laceration near her eye suffered during an aggravated burglary at 10:30 p.m. Friday at an apartment on Roman Street Southeast.

The woman said she was visiting at the home when an ex-girlfriend came to the home to retrieve a smoking pipe. The victim said she went to the suspect’s car and gave her the pipe, and the suspect and two other women kicked and punched her.

The victim went back to her friend’s apartment, but the three women forced their way inside and continued to assault her.

Police found blood and chunks of hair inside the apartment.
