Boston Celtics guard Jabari Bird allegedly assaulted a woman at least a dozen times over a four-hour period Friday, prosecutors said at an arraignment hearing Thursday.
According to prosecutors, the woman told police that Bird strangled and threw her against a wall after they got into an argument at Bird's residence. She said Bird would strangle her until she went "limp," allow her to catch her breath and begin choking her again.
She also said that Bird kicked her multiple times in the stomach and dragged her away from the door when she tried to leave before shutting her into a bathroom.
