Auburn Woman Charged with Assault After Striking Boyfriend with Car, Faces Worcester JudgeSource: Facebook/Auburn MA Police Department

Chaos erupted on Homestead Avenue yesterday when a woman allegedly struck her boyfriend with a car following an argument, Auburn Police reported. The incident, which unfolded around 12:31 pm on Monday, left the male victim injured on the ground, bleeding and in severe pain, the Auburn Police Department detailed on their Facebook page.

Responding officers were greeted by a tumultuous scene. The victim lay on the ground next to the suspect's vehicle, and officers discovered that after the collision, the woman reportedly assaulted a good Samaritan trying to assist her boyfriend. Witnesses assert the violent incident seemed intentional; the pair was caught arguing near a church moments before, according to the Auburn Police Department.

The suspect, who admitted to her relationship with the victim during an interrogation by detectives, also confessed to consuming drugs and alcohol prior to the event, authorities shared in the brief. Her admittance to substance use earlier in the day adds a distressing layer to the already grim narrative.

The woman, whose identity has not been disclosed, is set to face a judge on charges related to the altercation in the Worcester District Court today, the Auburn Police indicated. A collective of experienced crash reconstructionists and drone operators from CEMLEC assisted in the intricate unraveling of the day's events. The female's arraignment is scheduled for the next morning, following her arrest, and none are likely to forget the eeriness of that silent aftermath.

Auburn Police emphasized the severity of the situation, stating there will be no further information given at this time while the investigation continues on this sensitive matter.
