In the old apartment I have seen him slap her at least 3 times. Then in this apartment he has shoved her against the door leading to the outside of the apartment and the last where he charged off the chair putting a choke hold on her, shove her against the fridge and lift her off the floor a good quarter inch where the only thing that was touching the floor was likely her toe nails.
