24-Year-Old vs. 12-Year-Old
A 24-year-old New Haven woman was arrested after she allegedly assaulted a 12-year-old girl during a birthday party.

North Branford Police said the assault took place after the 24-year-old woman accused the girl of checking out her boyfriend. The woman then allegedly grabbed the girl and threw her to the ground, according to police, who said the girl suffered an injury to her head and also had an asthma attack.

Family members broke up the fight, police said in the report.
 
Caretaker Charged with Beating Elderly Man
A 78-year-old Milford man was taken to the hospital for injuries sustained after being assaulted by the man who was contracted to care for him, according to police.

The 47-year-old East Haven man charged with the assault was also arrested on charges of criminal attempt at arson and disorderly conduct, in relation to two incidents that prompted the police response to the Foxwood Master Condominium in Milford on Friday.

The suspect reportedly placed a lit cigarette in the gas-tank area of a vehicle and grabbed a 67-year-old woman around the waist, police said. It was when he was taken into custody for those complaints that police discovered the elderly man, who suffers from Alzheimer’s, had been assaulted.

Police responded to the Stratford residence after receiving a call from the woman, who came home to find her son and his friends there when they were not supposed to be, according to police. The party was broken up, but police were called back to the house at 5 a.m. when the son and at least one friend were once again found in the house, police said.

The son and friend were charged with trespassing, Stratford Patch reports.
