18-year-old Mariam Wasfi Galy had a domestic incident with her grandfather, Esmat Melek Botros, at his Patricia Drive residence late May 10th. Officers were dispatched to Galy’s home on Kipling Drive, where she told them she had gone to her grandfather’s after being told he was dying. Once she arrived, her entire family was there, so she decided to leave, which was when her grandfather grabbed her by her hair and neck before she pushed him and left the house to call the police.
Officers went to Patricia Drive to speak with Botros, who stated he was on the stairs when she was leaving and started to lose his balance, so he grabbed onto her, trying to stay up, but she pushed him down, which the other family members confirmed. He had an injury on the side of his head and his shoulder and scratches on his wrist and left leg. Galy was then taken into custody for domestic assault.
