A Penn Yan woman is facing charges after police say a physical altercation at a local apartment building left another woman with a broken arm.
According to the Penn Yan Police Department, officers responded to a report of a fight and determined that an argument had escalated into a physical confrontation. Police allege that 41-year-old Leah Brady choked another woman and threw her to the ground during the incident.
The victim suffered a broken arm and was transported by ambulance to a local hospital for treatment.
Brady was charged with third-degree assault and criminal obstruction of breathing. She was taken to the Yates County Jail to await Centralized Arraignment Part proceedings and the issuance of a protective order.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
