Somerville Police officers were dispatched to a Broadway location on reports of a person inside throwing bottles.

Upon arrival, the officers observed two elderly men attempting to restrain a female party.

The officers took control of the scene and separated everyone. The female was placed in handcuffs for safety reasons because she reportedly continued behaving erratically.

The officers spoke with both men, one of whom stated he was opening up for business when the female, identified as Lorena Dos Santos, came in and sat at the bar asking for a drink. Dos Santos was informed that the bar was not open yet but she could return later in the evening.

According to the man, Dos Santos was not happy with the response. She grabbed a half a gallon bottle of Jameson Irish Whiskey off the bar and threw it at the other man, and missed striking him while the first man attempted to stop her. During this time Dos Santos bit the first man on the forearm, causing the skin to break.

The man punched Dos Santos in order to make her let go. The second man came around from the register to assist first man, because Dos Santos was allegedly behaving erratically

An officer asked Dos Santos to explain what happen and she reportedly stated, “Nothing, I was just upset.”

All parties were offered medical attention and advised. Dos Santos was placed under arrest on a charge of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon on a person over 60.
