A 58-year-old Manitowoc man is facing charges after allegedly physically assaulting his wife.
The victim called the police at around 8:00 PM yesterday (April 28th) and told dispatch that her husband had gotten drunk, grabbed her by the neck, and threw her down the stairs.
The victim told police that she and her husband had been drinking, and she went up to their room to bring him a drink. When she got up there the man had thrown her phone across the room, so she retaliated by doing the same to his. This upset the man, who reportedly jumped out of bed, grabbed her by the neck, and threw her down five stairs where she struck her head on the wall at the bottom.
He then allegedly threw a bottle at her, which shattered upon impact.
The man was not located in the home, and police have not yet been able to locate him.
Charges of Strangulation, Battery, and Disorderly Conduct, each with a Domestic Violence Enhancer, have been filed against the man.
