A 32-year-old Kingston man was charged with two counts of assault after his common-law partner fell from a building window.
On July 14 at around 11:30 p.m., Kingston police say a woman and her common-law husband were walking in the area of Queen and Division streets.
While the two were arguing, police say the man slapped the woman twice across her face.
According to investigators, an unknown male citizen intervened and the accused left.
When the woman arrived home, police say the man was already at the home and another argument erupted.
As police describe it, the two were arguing through a window on an upper floor of a building, the woman on the outside while the man was inside.
Const. Cam Mack says the woman “was on some sort of ledge outside the window trying to speak with accused through the window, while he was locked in that room. While they were arguing, the accused pushed through the screen, which sent the victim falling backwards approximately 10 and a half feet.”
The police spokesperson would not clarify whether police say the man intentionally pushed the woman.
Nevertheless, police did add that the man brought his partner inside the building and called for an ambulance when it became apparent that the victim required medical attention.
Officers and paramedics arrived at the home around 1 a.m. on July 15 and arrested the man, charging him with assault and assault causing bodily harm.
