PROVIDENCE — A 32-year-old Providence man faces felony assault charges after he allegedly hit his mother over the head with a television Monday night, police said.

Jimmy Johnson is charged with domestic felony assault, stemming from the incident.

Police responded to the apartment on Pequot Street at about 5:15 p.m. Monday and found Barbara Johnson, 52, with a 2-inch laceration on her head. Jimmy Johnson was leaving the apartment and allegedly said, “I hit her with the TV, I know I [expletive] up,” according to a police report provided by Maj. Thomas Verdi.

Barbara Johnson, and her son’s girlfriend, Cassandra Levesque, 25, were arguing in the kitchen. Barbara Johnson allegedly pushed Levesque and shouted, “Give me my television back,” according to the report.
