STAMFORD — A city woman was charged with getting into a fight with her daughter and breaking the girl’s nose and choking her.

Police were called to an East Side home Monday at 5:45 p.m. on a report of a domestic dispute between a mother and daughter. When police got there they found Lorda Bermudez, 39, with her 15-year-old daughter, who had a broken nose, Lt. Diedrich Hohn said.

The girl said she and her mother were in the midst of an argument over her schooling and other issues when Bermudez became enraged and punched her. After punching her, the girl told police that her mother held her down and choked her.

Bermudez was charged with second-degree assault, second-degree strangulation and risk of injury to a child.

At Bermudez’ arraignment Tuesday, Judge Auden Grogins said because of the seriousness of the girl’s injuries she ordered Bermudez held in lieu of a $5,000 court appearance bond and issued a no contact order prohibiting Bermudez from talking to the girl.

Bermudez’ public defender Benjamin Aponte told Grogins that the girl has moved out of Bermudez’ home and into her father’s residence.
