Man Accused of Punching His Mother in the Face

MANCHESTER, Ky. — Manchester City Police have charged a Needmore Hollow Road man after he allegedly punched his mother in the face, leaving her injured and unable to speak.

According to the Manchester Police Department, Officer Brayden Gibbs responded to a complaint involving an assault on a female by her son. Upon arrival, Officer Gibbs made contact with the victim, Diane Hubbard, who was bleeding from her face and unable to communicate due to the severity of her injuries.

The victim later advised officers that this was not the first time her son had assaulted her.

Diane Hubbard was transported by emergency personnel to AdventHealth Manchester for medical treatment.
