RICHMOND (BCN)
A Richmond man is behind bars after pistol-whipping his girlfriend with a replica handgun on Wednesday night, a police spokeswoman said today.
The victim and suspect were arguing at a home in the 500 block of Bissell Avenue when the man struck the woman in the head with what the woman believed was a handgun, Richmond police Sgt. Nicole Abetkov said.
The woman left the home and called police, who arrived a short time later and had to talk the man into leaving the house, Abetkov said.
He was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and taken to county jail.
Police later discovered that the weapon used in the assault was a BB gun, according to Abetkov.
The victim received medical treatment for her injuries and was released. |
