A Norfolk man accused of attacking a woman with a vacuum cleaner has been arrested.

34-year-old Marvin Wallace was arrested after police responded to a report of a crash late Saturday night.

Police say the driver of the crashed car told officers she had just been attacked by Wallace. The woman told police that Wallace had pulled her wig and hair extensions from her head, then swung a vacuum cleaner at her, hitting her in the face.

The woman said Wallace swung the vacuum a second time, hitting her and her 6-year-old child in the arm.

Police Chief Bill Mizner says Wallace was arrested on suspicion of third-degree domestic assault and child abuse.

Wallace could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
