Woman arrested for assaulting 12-year-old girl for 'looking at' her 30-year-old boyfriend
A 24-year-old Connecticut woman has been charged with assault for grabbing a 12-year-old girl by the hair and throwing her down for 'looking at' her 30-year-old boyfriend.
The violent incident occurred at a ****** birthday party in North Branford, Connecticut on July 23.
Police didn’t arrest the woman, Candace Kiley of New Haven, until Tuesday because they had to apply for a warrant after she fled the scene.
North Branford police said the 12-year-old was not related to Kiley, nor did it appear that the two had a history.
Both were at the party because the unidentified victim is a friend of Kiley's younger ******.

Candace Kiley, 24, threw the young girl to the floor by her hair. The 12 year old suffered a head injury and then an asthma ******
The assault happened after Kiley’s boyfriend spilled a ***** in the kitchen.
Police said the young girl had joined him there because she needed to get ice for her *****.
The girl was waiting for the man to clean up the spill when Kiley walked in.
Kiley then accused the 12-year-old of looking at her boyfriend, saying the victim had 'been looking at him all day.'
She grabbed the girl by the hair and threw her to the floor.
The 12-year-old sustained a head injury and then broke into an asthma ******, police said.
The assault continued until ****** members heard the commotion in the next room and intervened.
North Branford Police Department Lt. David D’Ancicco said: 'She landed flat on her back, hitting the back of head on the floor.'
He added that: 'Everybody immediately came to the 12-year-old’s aid.'
The girl suffered a bump on her head, but the ****** did not call an ambulance and the police did not send her to the hospital when they arrived.
