According to the victim (who can’t be described under a state domestic violence law):
The woman was at the parking lot to exchange children she has in common with the victim and got into an argument with the victim. An argument began, and the woman leaned on the victim’s car door, preventing the victim from leaving. The victim twice managed to get the door open, but each time, the woman pushed back, catching the victim’s hand the first time and the victim’s leg the second time. Police didn’t see a mark on the victim’s hand, but the knee had a bruise.
