Fargo (trfnews.i234.me) — A Fargo man is facing new felony charges after police say he seriously injured a pregnant woman during a January assault.
Charges Filed In Fargo Case
Teon Berry has been charged with two counts of domestic violence resulting in serious bodily injury.
According to court documents, Fargo Police responded to an apartment in Fargo on January 8.
The woman told investigators Berry was staying at her apartment at the time.
She said she asked him to leave, but he refused.
She then began recording him because the situation was getting worse.
Victim Reported Serious Injuries
Documents say Berry grabbed the woman by the neck and choked her.
She told police she could not breathe during the attack.
She also said he punched her in the jaw and nose with a closed fist.
The woman called 911 during the assault.
Records say Berry became more angry after that call.
She then hung up before speaking further with dispatchers.
When 911 called back, she reportedly said her son called by accident.
Medical Records Detailed The Harm
Medical records state the woman was pregnant at the time of the assault.
Those records say she suffered a broken nose.
She also had several injuries to her face and neck.
The charges filed in this case reflect the seriousness of those reported injuries.
