Kevin Porter Jr.’s alleged attack on his girlfriend at a New York City hotel left the woman with a fractured neck vertebra and a cut above her right eye, according to prosecutors.
Porter is charged with felony assault and strangulation in connection with the incident Monday at the Millennium Hilton near the United Nations in Manhattan.
Prosecutors said he didn’t stop until his girlfriend, former WNBA player Kysre Gondrezick, ran out into the hallway covered in blood.
“This is a serious domestic violence case,” Assistant Manhattan District Attorney Mirah Curzer said in court.
Curzer said Porter has a history of abusing Gondrezick, including an incident in which he rammed his car into hers.
