Middletown police have arrested a 32-year-old local man who is accused of assaulting a pregnant woman in front of a toddler.
Police said they investigated the report of a past physical domestic incident on Tuesday and met with the victim, a woman who is 27-weeks pregnant, who said the abuse happened in front of a toddler.
When police interviewed the suspect, Jonathan Santiago, 32, of Middletown, tried to leave and elude investigators, police said.
He also became aggressive and combative and injured police officers who tried to arrest him, according to the arraignment report.
Santiago was charged with assault on a pregnant person, assault on public safety personnel, interfering with arrest, disorderly conduct and risk of injury to a child.
He was held on a $500,000 surety bond and was due in court on Wednesday.
