Police: Woman assaulted over bucket of chicken

A Chester County man is under arrest after he allegedly beat up a woman who tried to prevent him from grabbing chicken from a bucket of chicken she was holding.

During the altercation, a piece of chicken fell to the ground, the Phoenixville woman told police.

"When I bent over to pick up the chicken, he punched me in the face five to six times," the woman testified in a court hearing. "My eye began to spasm. He cut my lip and busted up my face. When I covered up, he started kneeing me in the chest and elbowing me in the back."

The suspect, a 48-year-old Coatesville man, will stand trial in Chester County Court on charges of aggravated assault; recklessly endangering another person; simple assault; harassment; and terroristic threats.
