A man allegedly broke a woman’s nose and several bones in her face after an argument at a party in the 1500 block of Greenlee Street early Saturday.

The woman and several witnesses told police the man was intoxicated and the two began to argue about 2:30 a.m. He called her a bad name, she said, and she slapped him.

The man punched her in the face with his fist, knocking her out the front door onto the ground, according to the police report.

Friends took her to a hospital emergency room, where a doctor said her nose was broken and bones around her eye socket were shattered.

The man attempted to get into his car to drive away but his friends stopped him because he was too intoxicated to drive, according to the report. A friend drove him home.

The investigating officer contacted the suspect and told him he would be obtaining an arrest warrant.

The man agreed to surrender on Monday after he talked to his attorney, according to the police report.
