A woman repeatedly punched in the head by a drunk Minneapolis man inside his apartment Tuesday may not survive, according to a charge filed Wednesday.
“As of the writing of this complaint, she is unable to breathe on her own, she remains on a ventilator, and her prognosis remains poor,” the criminal complaint reads, with prosecutors indicating additional charges are likely if the woman does not survive.
Calvin Doise Little, 35, is currently charged with one count of 1st-degree assault in connection with the incident, which happened early Tuesday morning inside an apartment on the 400 block of West Lake Street in the city’s Lyn-Lake area.
According to the charge, officers responded to a report of an assault around 1:10 a.m. and found the victim, bleeding heavily from her mouth with near-death agonal breathing, laying near the doorway to the apartment unit.
Officers found Little asleep on the bed, covered in blood with what appeared to be dried blood stains on his hands.
According to the charge, Little’s girlfriend said she’d gone to the apartment with her friend after Little had been drinking inside the apartment all day.
