TRENTON -- A Trenton woman has been charged with throwing bleach in the face of her ex-boyfriend during a fight, police said.

Patrice Branch, 34

Patrice Branch, 34, was arrested early Thursday after a warrant was issued on an aggravated assault charge.

Police responded to the 100 block of Old Rose Street Tuesday at around 9:19 p.m., said Lt. Stephen Varn.

The man, 41, told police that he and Branch were having an argument when she threw bleach at his face and chest, causing his eyes to burn. She then swung a wooden bedpost at him, hitting him in the thigh, before fleeing, Varn said.

The two had been living together and Branch was packing up her belongings at the time of the argument, Varn said.
