According to police, officers were sent to Springbrook Circle for a report of an assault.

The officers located a man and a woman at the scene. The man sustained an injury to his thumb after Danusis allegedly bit him, according to a report from Capt. Mike Schwartz. According to the victims, Danusis and the woman had reportedly previously dated.

Danusis was arrested and held on $5,000 cash bail. Since he was out on bail from a previous theft arrest, a breach of bail charge was added.

Police are asking anyone who has any information about this case to contact Officer Matt Fredrickson at 603-610-7667.
