A Levittown woman is accused of attacking her lover after being together for just a week.
According to Bristol Township police, a patrolman was dispatched to Swan Lane last Thursday around 2 a.m. for a domestic assault. Upon arrival, an officer spoke with a woman who was unsteady on her feet, bleeding from her face and suffering from a black eye.

The woman told Officer Thomas Van Winkle a fight began the previous evening with Carissa Rose McGoff, 21, after a verbal altercation. During that incident, McGoff allegedly struck the woman she began a sexual relationship with last week with a closed fist.
Shortly before police arrived, McGoff struck the woman with a house fan, causing dizziness and a wound, according to court papers.
The woman was transported to Lower Bucks Hospital for treatment, police said.
