Love is a battlefield

Matters of the heart led to an altercation in Marconi Friday.

Arriving on 20th Street and Oregon Avenue at 12:36 a.m. Sunday, authorities found the complainant, a SEPTA employee, with multiple deep cuts to her left arm, chest and eye, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The female, whose ex-boyfriend also works for the transportation provider, told them she came to their employer’s depot at 20th and Johnston streets on her day off and approached her former lover’s new girlfriend, who was sitting in his car.

Witnesses observed the complainant banging on the car window to cause the other female to leave the vehicle, Tolliver said. The male eventually arrived at his automobile, causing the complainant to use her minivan to travel northbound along 20th Street, stopping just north of Oregon Avenue.

The other woman, Monique Morris, 41, allegedly pulled her beau’s ride up directly behind the complainant, with the latter approaching her one-time partner and punching him in the face. Morris reportedly exited the car to retaliate, with the two engaging in punching and hair pulling, Tolliver said. Authorities transported the complainant to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania for the aforementioned injuries, with information on what was used to cut her unavailable, and they took Morris, who had a cut on her right hand, to Methodist Hospital, later charging the Upper Darby resident with possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person and aggravated and simple assault.
