• A 23-year-old Montauk man was arrested on several charges on Nov. 15, a few weeks after a domestic dispute took place, town police said. Soon after coming to the victim's door to have a conversation on Oct. 26, the man allegedly grabbed the victim by her neck and pushed her back, causing her to fall on the floor. He then picked up their child and kicked the victim, as she lay on the floor. He then walked toward the door and the victim got up, grabbed the defendant's shirt and he dropped the baby on the coach and left the apartment, said police, who were called shortly afterwards. The defendant was not picked up until Nov. 15. Justice Catherine A. Cahill arraigned the defendant on criminal obstruction of breathing, acting in a manner injurious to a child, both misdemeanors, and second-degree harassment, a violation. He was released on $250 bail. An order of protection was issued and Child Protective Services were notified.
