The man, whose name and age were not released Tuesday, allegedly used a rearview mirror from his car to strike his 27-year-old girlfriend in the back of the head during a Monday argument, investigators said.
The assault occurred around 2:15 p.m. Monday in the 600 block of Old Gadsden Highway.
An officer who responded to the scene noticed that the woman had a laceration on her forehead and swelling on the back of her head.
Investigators had not made an arrest in the case by Tuesday afternoon.
