Bridgeport Woman Charged With Assaulting Romance Rival In Stamford

Stamford police arrested Michelle Walker at 10:50 a.m. Monday for throwing hot coffee on a woman she accused of making prank calls to her cell phone, according to the Stamford Police Department.

"Around 9 a.m., police were dispatched to an address on Euclid Ave. to respond to a report of a woman having hot coffee thrown on her," SPD Sgt. George Moran said.

The unidentified female victim received third degree burns to her neck, chest, and ear from the assault. She was treated on the scene and later at Stamford Hospital.

"The victim stated that when she went to a friend's house on Euclid Ave., her the mother of her male friend's son accused her of prank phoning her from a blocked number. The argument escalated until Walker threw hot coffee on her," Moran said.

According to SPD, it's "possible" that tensions initially rose between the two women because of their proximity to the same male.

Walker, who left the house shortly thereafter, was arrested at her workplace and charged with second degree assault. She has already posted her $10,000 bond.
