IOWA CITY, Iowa—An Iowa City man has been charged with assault after getting into a broom fight with a woman. The Johnson County sheriff's office said the fight began when a 54-year-old man was awakened early Tuesday by a woman cleaning the house.
Authorities said an argument between the two escalated into a fight, with the man pushing the woman and hitting her with a broom handle, causing minor cuts. The woman grabbed a broom to defend herself, striking the man on the head, causing a bump.
Investigators determined the man was the primary aggressor in the assault. He was charged with domestic abuse assault without intent, causing injury.
