Woman Attacks Ex-Boyfriend at DMV, Police Say

A Yonkers woman's visit to the DMV last week had nothing to do with her driving record, police say. Instead, police believe she went to the building on Hamilton Ave. to confront an ex-boyfriend who works in the office.

Police say the 22-year-old woman walked into the DMV at about 10 a.m. on August 3 and found her ex who was working at the time. After the man asked for his house keys back and confirmed the end of their relationship, the woman yelled out "you're going to make me go to jail today," loud enough for nearby witnesses to hear, police say.

The woman then jumped over a table and tried to attack her former boyfriend, according to arrest reports.

Another DMV employee stepped in and broke up the confrontation and the woman's ex-boyfriend was taken into a separate office, according to an arrest report. Police were called, but the woman left the area before officers arrived.

Officers searched the area, but were unable to find the woman.

The former boyfriend was taken to police headquarters to give a statement. At that time the woman turned herself in and was taken into custody, police say.

Police charged the woman with menacing, a misdemeanor.
