NASHUA, N.H (WHDH) - A New Hampshire man is set to face a judge Monday after police say he viciously attacked a woman in Nashua last week, leaving her with broken facial bones.

Officers responding to a report of a domestic assault around 7 p.m. met with the victim, who said she had been hit in the face by 33-year-old Pavel Novikov, of Nashua, according to authorities.

The woman also alleged that Novikov strangled her three times.

He will be arraigned Monday in Hillsborough County Superior Court-South on charges including four counts of second-degree assault — domestic violence, six counts of domestic violence — simple assault, domestic violence — false imprisonment, and domestic violence — obstructing the reporting of a crime.
