Summit Hill police charged a borough man after a serious assault on his companion at 6:28 p.m. Wednesday.

Lawrence John Gulla, 53, of East Hazard Street, was arraigned on felony charges before Magisterial District Judge Casimir Kosciolek of Lansford and committed to the Carbon County Correctional Facility in Nesquehoning.

Gulla is charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, resisting arrest, harassment and disorderly conduct.

Police said they were dispatched to the residence for a domestic disturbance after the Carbon County Communications Center dispatcher said that the victim, with whom Gulla resides, was en route to the St. Luke’s Miners Campus in Coaldale, following an assault by Gulla.

Police said they located Gulla in the backyard of the property, near a garage, and the man immediately became irate and started yelling and cursing at the officer. Police said they informed Gulla he was under arrest and while attempting to handcuff him, Gulla pulled away multiple times until he was eventually secured.

Police said they spoke to the victim at the hospital, who said Gulla picked her up and threw her against a window sill and wall. Police said she suffered a fractured hip and internal bleeding as a result of Gulla’s actions.
