NORFOLK - A Norfolk man is facing charges after an alleged strangulation incident over the weekend.

The Norfolk Police Division says officers were called to an apartment in the 1400 block of S. 3rd Street in Norfolk for an assault report on December 13th at 1:39 p.m.

Bah eventually left the apartment.

NPD says the victim sustained injuries and had marks on his neck.

Officers found Bah at his home and questioned him about the incident.

At the conclusion of the investigation, Bah was arrested on a strangulation charge.
