A 45-year-old man from Perni has been arrested for causing bodily harm in the conditions of domestic violence, reported the Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The case started yesterday, when shortly before midnight a call was made to 112 about a 39-year-old woman being beaten by a man with whom she lived on a family basis. The action took place on "Targovska" street, in the presence of their newborn child. Employees from the First District Office detained the perpetrator.
The man is under police custody for a period of up to 24 hours and a fast-track proceeding has been initiated against him. The prosecutor's office has been notified, and work on the case continues.
The police in Pernik explained to BTA that this is not the first case in which the man acted violently towards the woman.
