Brian Egan, 43, faces third-degree assault and criminal obstruction of breathing charges, both class A misdemeanors, after Yorktown police investigated a woman’s report of an alleged domestic incident from October.
The woman went to Yorktown police headquarters around 6:45 p.m. on Nov. 3 to report the earlier incident, according to Halston Media. Police allege that on Oct. 5, Egan pushed the woman, bit her hard enough to cause physical injury and choked her by applying pressure to her throat or neck.
Arrest and court proceedings
Police said their investigation led to Egan’s arrest at his home at about 8:07 p.m. on Nov. 3—the same evening the woman reported the incident. Officers took him to police headquarters for processing, the outlet reported.
Egan was arraigned before Judge Aviah Cohen-Pierson, who issued a temporary order of protection for the woman. He was released on his own recognizance following the arraignment, per the same report.
Court Date Set for Later This Month
Egan is due back in Yorktown Justice Court at 6 p.m. on November 19. No additional case details, including a response from Egan or his attorney, have been made public.
Support and other reported cases
For people seeking safety from interpersonal violence, the Westchester County Office for Women offers services in English and Spanish, including confidential counselor meetings by appointment. For emergencies, the office advises calling 911 for police protection and medical help; callers using a cell phone should give the dispatcher their street address, according to its emergency guidance.
A separate Yorktown case involved Yonkers man Anthony Infelice, who Yorktown News reported was arrested Jan. 29 after a domestic incident there on Jan. 25. The report excerpt does not specify the year and says Infelice faced criminal mischief and criminal obstruction of breathing charges, while Egan faces third-degree assault and criminal obstruction of breathing charges.
