A woman was punched in the face and a man was hit with pepper spray during an assault in a residential neighborhood Saturday afternoon. Orange police report the woman victim knew the two assailants.
Police were called at 3:51 p.m. to a house in the 2200 block of Westway Drive in the Clairmont neighborhood. When the patrol officer arrived, he saw a 48-year-old woman with a swollen black eye and cuts on her nose.
She told police she was leaving the house when two women drove up in a tan Buick LeSabre and got out. One of the women threated the 48-year-old woman, who turned to go inside the house. That’s when the assailant began punching her in the face several times.
The man came out of the house to stop the assault when the other woman came up and sprayed him in the face with pepper spray. He told police he was temporarily blinded by the spray.
The two assailants drove away before police arrived.
