Officers first encountered the victim, a San Jose woman, driving down Bernardo Avenue "well above" the speed limit shortly after 5 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 29. The woman told police that her boyfriend had rammed his car into her vehicle and had physically attacked her, according to police spokeswoman Katie Nelson.

The attack reportedly happened just minutes before police pulled her over, according to the victim.

Officers went to the home of the boyfriend on Alice Avenue in the Sylvan Park neighborhood, and arrested the man on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, domestic battery and violation of a restraining order.
