A car left in neutral on Hammond Street in Bangor rolled through a five-way intersection and crashed into a building, injuring the passenger and sole occupant of the car.

Alice Farver, 90, suffered bruises and abrasions on her legs as a result of the accident. Her condition wasn’t immediately known Thursday night.

Farver was the passenger in a 1992 red Plymouth that had been parked on Hammond Street about 3:20 p.m. The driver, Sandra Farver, 58, of Bangor had left the car briefly and failed to put it in park, reported Officer Wade Betters. The car rolled down Hammond Street hill, crossed the intersection and struck the Penobscot Taxi building.

No estimate of damage to the building was available. The car received about $6,000 in damage to the front end, according to the police report.

Bangor police arrested an Essex Street man Thursday afternoon after he assaulted his girlfriend, got into a fight with her teen-age son and then sprayed police with the blood from his injured nose, according to police.

Scott Dennis, 38, faces a single charge of domestic assault and two counts of assault after the incident at 286 Essex St. about 1 p.m.

Arriving at the apartment, police found two shirtless men squaring off. One of them was Dennis, whose nose was bleeding, while the other was his girlfriend’s 18-year-old son who apparently had given Dennis the bloody nose.

Dennis’ live-in girlfriend told Officer Tim Cotton that she had been awakened by Dennis who began yelling at her. She said he had been drinking. When she got up, Dennis pushed her.

Her son was outside on the porch and heard the altercation, including her mother saying, “Don’t hit me and push me,” according to the police report. The son ran upstairs to help his mother and Dennis confronted him by the stairwell, grabbing him by the chest and pushing the son back. The son grabbed Dennis and put him down before heading back down the stairs.

Dennis followed him outside where they fought until police arrived and interceded.

Cotton and Officer Michael Kenny reported that Dennis became agitated while speaking to them. They issued Dennis a disorderly conduct warning but reported that he became more belligerent and kept trying to spray them with the blood coming from his nose. At one point, he cocked his head back in an apparent attempt to get a better trajectory and splattered both officers with his bodily fluid.
