| There is an update on the earlier report that Hiram Monserrate was arrested last night after allegedly assaulting his girlfriend.
This is what we know now:
Outgoing City Councilman Hiram Monserrate was arrested early Friday after allegedly whacking his girlfriend over the head with a beer bottle, a police source said.
Monserrate and the unidentified victim arrived at Long Island Jewish Hospital about 4:30 a.m. Sources told the Daily News the woman had severe cuts to her face that required several stitches to close.
Cops later questioned the Queens lawmaker and charged him with assault.
This is serious. The legal process will run its course. But we should also see Monserrate step aside for someone else. This is a very serious crime. This should not be tolerated. |
