Narrative
On the above date at approximately 2057 hours, I was dispatched to the Holiday Inn located at blank, blank, blank., to investigate a reported assault and battery.  I arrived on scene at approximately 2059 hours and was flagged down at building #7.  The victim's son, blank, was crying as he told me this mother has been beaten up by her boyfriend, son has not witnessed the assault though.  There were numerous emotionally distraught family members and friends on the scene.  I asked where the suspect was and they told me e had left in the victim's care, a green Dodge Chrysler 300C.  I was directed to the group through the 7C doorway and down a hallway to the victim.  I located her laying on her back on the floor in the hallway on front of room blank.  She was conscious and breathing, but visibly upset.  She was crying and her eye makeup was running. I observed that she had swelling on the left side of her face, near her temple.  She was very upset, almost hysterical at the scene.  I requested that she remain still until the paramedics arrived on scene to evaluate her.  She said her boyfriend had hit her; she seemed very confused by the situation.  She was noticeably scared because she kept asking, "Are you sure he is gone" and "What if he comes back?" I reassured er that she was safe and told her to focus on remaining still.
