A 40-year-old woman from Vernon is facing assault charges after attacking her ex-boyfriend on a street corner, following him home and pouring liquid bleach over him, according to police.
Police said Tanya Person was angry with her ex-boyfriend, who is also the father of her child, and confronted him at the intersection of Ward and Union streets in the Rockville section of Vernon around 1:15 p.m. Thursday.
Person allegedly slapped and punched the man, pushing him down into the snow, then kicked him while he was on the ground. Police said she followed him back to her apartment on Village Street and doused him in bleach.
The victim, identified only as a 30-year-old man from New York, suffered minor injuries and refused medical treatment, according to police.
Person was arrested and charged with second- and third-degree assault, first-degree reckless endangerment, third-degree criminal mischief and second-degree breach of peace.
She’s being held on $20,000 bond and is due in court Friday.
