A drunk Manhattan man has been arrested after allegedly punching his girlfriend in the face for not cooking her dinner, authorities said.
Eriberto Grullo, 46, then ransacked the couple’s apartment in West Harlem, smashing chairs and dishes, prosecutors said during his arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court on Saturday.
Grullo was charged with two counts of assault, harassment and attempted assault for Friday’s beating, which authorities say took place just before 10 p.m.
He “became angry with the [the victim] for not cooking him dinner. He started breaking and throwing things around their house,” Assistant District Attorney Katelyn Colman said.
The woman’s face was bruised and swollen, and her nose was bleeding after the attack, Colman said.
Grullo was charged with two counts of third-degree assault, one count of second-degree aggravated harassment, second-degree harassment and attempted third-degree assault.
He was released on Saturday and is due back in court in July.
