Police: Man looking for his girlfriend ends up assaulting her roommate

By Kyle Feldscher

A man looking for his girlfriend ended up beating up her roommate when he learned the woman he wanted to see wasn’t home, Ann Arbor police said Monday.

Ann Arbor police Lt. Renee Bush said a 49-year-old Ann Arbor man went to the apartment in the 700 block of Miller Avenue at 10 p.m. Saturday. Bush said the man asked the 51-year-old woman at the home if his girlfriend was home and she said no.

The man then became irate and grabbed the woman, throwing her to the ground, Bush said. The man punched her in the face and grabbed her hair. The assault continued until the woman began screaming and the man ran back to his own apartment, Bush said.

The man was gone by the time police arrived. The woman reported minor injuries to police.

Anyone with information on this incident is encouraged to call the Ann Arbor police anonymous tip line at 734-794-6939 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK UP (773-2587).

That man is a danger to us all. I hope to see a picture of him when he is found. This way everyone will be able to see what a creep looks like.

Sounds like a class act. (allegedly)

The way this headline is phrased makes it seem like the assault was somehow accidental or not entirely his fault.

Next time pull out your pepper spray or better yet wasp spray and give him a few blasts in the face. End of problem. He'll think twice before messing with you again

AAAACK!!!! STOP WITH THE WASP SPRAY! Pepper Spray is a FAR better option!!! Wasp spray is for WASPs and it's capabilities as a HUMAN deterrent is questionable. Please stop spreading that rumor and correct others when you see it. http://www.snopes.com/crime/prevent/waspspray.asp

What is it with some people? Don't get what you want so you take it out on someone else.
