PD: Clinton Street Fight Ends With ER Melee

Middletown Police arrested three female family members in an incident that began as a fight between a young woman and her grandmother.

Three city women are facing assault and related charges after Middletown police say a 21-year-old was injured in a fight with her grandmother — and two other family members showed up at the hospital, agitated, as "emotions ran high," according to the report.

On Aug. 30 at 10:12 p.m., police arrived at a disturbance on Clinton Avenue and found a woman with a towel wrapped around her bleeding arm with a five-inch cut, the report says.

The victim said she was inside the apartment when a fight broke out between Niqueasha Hilton, 21, of no certain address, and her grandmother, the report details. Two women pulled Hilton out of the front door to get her away from her grandmother, police say, whom she had pushed hard into a wall while heavily intoxicated.
