A 19-year-old woman suffered minor injuries after she was assaulted by her live-in ex-boyfriend Friday on the UA Mall.
The woman told police her ex-boyfriend followed her from their apartment after an argument. During the argument, he reportedly hit her in the face, pulled her hair and threatened suicide, holding a kitchen knife to his wrist.
The suspect approached the victim and demanded to speak to her. When she refused he pushed her and followed her onto a bus near the Visitor's Center, 1500 E. University Blvd.
The suspect reportedly rode the bus until the victim exited at Flandrau Planetarium and called university police.
Police noticed bruises on the woman's left arm.
The woman gave police the knife which she had taken from the suspect.
