Police have launched an investigation into a disturbing home invasion and assault at Cades Bay on Thursday night, in which a 49-year-old woman was reportedly attacked by her ex-boyfriend.
According to reports, the incident took place around 10 p.m. on Thursday 6th November, 2025, when the woman, who was at home with a female friend, was awakened by her former partner after he allegedly broke into the house.
Reports indicate that the suspect dragged the woman from her bed, slammed her into a wall, and began physically assaulting her.
The woman’s friend, who was also in the bedroom, reportedly intervened, resulting in a brief struggle between her and the intruder.
Police officers who responded to the scene observed signs of forced entry through a living room window, which appeared to have been pried open. Both women were issued medical examination forms and advised to seek treatment for their injuries.
Authorities have not yet confirmed whether the suspect is in custody, but the investigation remains ongoing.
We need stricter laws and faster response times. These women need to be protected.
We need more awareness and support systems for women in abusive relationships. It’s not just about punishment, it’s about prevention too.
Melee Other people’s drama
Every week is some man beating or breaking in somebody house. What really going on inna dis place? We need counseling programs just as much as police patrols.
Hearing about someone being hurt in what should be a safe space is truly upsetting. I hope justice is served and that measures are put in place to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Women supporting women love that her friend tried to help. Brave move, but risky. Wishing both of them full recovery
Me tell y’all, some of these fellas can’t tek rejection. Once woman say she done, dem start act like mad people. Lock him up and throw ‘way the key
Parents talk to your children. No means no!!
She had another man in the room. In her bed. And her ex, who by the way she hasnt broken off with fully came in and got agressive. So lady you werent physically assulted. You were playing with both men at the same time. Stop your nastyness
Police better find him before somebody else get hurt. We tired hear bout these same stories over and over
Big up to the friend who step in. That coulda turn out worse. I hope the both of them get proper help and protection order quick.
