Windsor woman in critical condition following assault in a vehicle
A Windsor woman is in hospital with life-threatening injuries after what police say is a case of intimate partner violence.
They say the victim was assaulted in a vehicle, then knocked to the ground after she exited the vehicle and the driver sped away.
The 36-year-old was found in the area of Pillette Road — between Plymouth Drive and Grand Marais Road East — around 2 a.m. Sunday.
"Officers arrived at the scene and located a critically injured woman being treated by paramedics," police said in a statement.
According to police, she was assaulted following an argument with a 34-year-old man — who can't be named to protect her identity.
He was picked up at a Reginald Street residence later that afternoon.
The accused has been charged with aggravated assault, dangerous operation of a vehicle causing bodily harm, and leaving the scene of an accident.
