A New Jersey man was jailed on New Year’s Day on assault charges.

State police at Lehighton said Bogdan Galay, 27, of Trenton, is facing charges of aggravated and simple assault, harassment, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

Troopers said Galay physically attacked a 22-year-old woman in the area of Woods Road, in Lower Towamensing Township, at 3:34 a.m. While being taken into custody he kicked a trooper in the groin area and also kicked a Palmerton EMT worker.

Galay was arraigned on the charges and committed to the county prison in Nesquehoning after failing to post bail.
