Patrick Chung, former New England Patriots safety, charged with domestic assault

Former New England Patriots player Patrick Chung was charged Wednesday with assaulting a woman in Massachusetts, CBS Boston reports.

The 34-year-old former safety allegedly hit a woman with an open hand outside of a Milton home before pushing her to the ground, according to CBS Boston. He is also accused of taking her phone and throwing it, leading the screen to shatter.

Paramedics evaluated the woman but determined she did not need treatment, CBS Boston reports.

Chung was charged with domestic assault, battery and vandalizing property, but was released on a $10,000 personal surety, which places his own money on the line if he violates the conditions of a restraining order that was granted just before his arraignment.
