A River Street couple face misdemeanor charges after a late-night argument downtown turned physical.
At about 1:24 a.m. Tuesday, police responded to the rear of an Elm Street restaurant where they found a woman with eyes swollen and what appeared to be bruising, a police report said. The woman, 27, told police that her boyfriend had struck her and thrown her down, and that when she started kicking him he placed a beer keg on her leg as a buffer between them, the report said.
Both had been drinking and were charged with disorderly conduct. The boy friend, 40, additionally was charged with third-degree assault.
They were released after promising to appear later Tuesday morning in state Superior Court in Stamford.
