HUDSON – State Police arrested a City of Hudson man on Tuesday, August 4, after he reportedly assaulted and choked another person.
The gender of the victim was not reported by authorities.
Troopers said that Robert Gadway, 41, allegedly became irate while at a private residence in the Town of Stockport where he struck the victim several times, placed the victim in a rear chokehold, restricting breathing.
The victim broke free and fled to a car, at which point Gadway followed and broke the driver’s side window before the victim drove away.
Police were alerted to the assault when the victim went to Columbia Memorial Hospital in Hudson.
Gadway was later located and charged with strangulation – obstructing breathing as a felony, assault and criminal mischief, both as misdemeanors.
He was arraigned and remanded to the Columbia County Jail pending a future court appearance.
