BREACH OF PEACE — At 11: 19 p.m., Suzanna C. Marano, 22, of Prospect Street was seen by police arguing loudly on the sidewalk near Rapallo Avenue, when the male victim told officers she had just punched him in the face, according to the report.

The victim said Marano, whom he had been dating for four months, had asked him to "hang out" earlier but he said he couldn't because he was in Hartford, and when he was with a friend in the Krust bar area, and Marano punched him in the nose. The owner witnessed the incident, police say.

Iguina told police he was tired of her behavior and threw her out of the house, not meaning to hurt her, but their mother was away on vacation and the girl had been disrespectful to her grandmother, "which threw him over the edge."
