On June 28, police were called to Tamuning, where they met with a woman who was bleeding from the mouth. She said she was struck in the face three times by Taimanglo, according to the complaint.
Police noted that the woman, who said she lost consciousness for several seconds as a result of the assault, was having trouble speaking because of the severity of her injuries.
