A Brooklyn woman was charged following an alleged brawl outside the Bucks County Sheraton Hotel on Oxford Valley Road in Falls Township.

Lisa Alexandre, 36, was charged via mail with three counts of simple assault, harassment and a lone count of disorderly conduct.

Police say the 36-year-old is accused of assaulting three people outside the hotel after a dispute over a spot to stop a car in late July.

Alexandre, her five-year-old daughter and mother checked out of the hotel just before 3 p.m. The five-year-old and her grandmother, who uses a walker to get around, were standing at the hotel’s front lobby loading and unloading area, waiting for Alexandre to pull her car up when the incident began, police said.

A couple traveling with a youth baseball team told police they pulled their vehicle up to the loading and unloading area in front of the hotel at the same time Alexandre was attempting to pull up so she could get her mother. After honking and auguring with the family, Alexandre got out and confronted the wife. They got in a verbal argument and the woman raised her hand to get Alexandre out of her face. The husband stepped in, which lead to Alexandre allegedly punching the man’s wife in the face, police said.

As the fight escalated, Alexandre is said to have punched the husband in the face and scratched him, but not before spitting on the two and a bellman trying to break the fight up, according to court documents.

The Sheraton manager walked out and told Alexandre she “should not behave like this in the presence of other guest, specifically other children,” court papers said.

As a baseball coach tried to separate the couple and Alexandre, she punched him in the face, police said. Alexandre’s mother then reached from behind and scratched the coach in the face, according to authorities.

When talking with Alexandre, police noted that she said the husband of the first victim and baseball coach both punched and choked her. A Falls Township police officer said he did not notice any physical injuries on Alexandre, according to court papers. She later went to Aria Hospital next door and they bandaged a scratch of her forearm, court papers said.

While Alexandre did not show injuries, police said they took photos of visible scratches on the husband of the first victim and the baseball coach.

Alexandre is set to have a preliminary hearing before District Judge Jan Vislosky on September 10 at 1 p.m.
