SALINA -A Kansas man was arrested Saturday evening on several charges, after he is accused of hitting, strangling, and sexually assaulting a woman during about a three-hour period.

Salina Police Captain Mike Sweeney said David William Ross Summers, 28, Salina, went to the central Salina home of the woman just before 5 p.m.

Summers reportedly accused the woman of having an affair, hit her and strangled her in the presence of her four children under the age of 10.

Police say Summers then forced the woman into the basement, where he allegedly continued to hit, strangle her and also sexually assaulted her.

The victim escaped to a neighbor’s home and asked for help.

Summers answered the door and reportedly used his head to hit the neighbor who came to the door offering help.

The neighbor suffered a cut above an eye, and the woman was taken to the hospital for treatment of bruises and abrasions. She was treated and released.

Summers was booked into the Saline County Jail on requested charges of attempted 2nd degree murder, rape, aggravated child endangerment, aggravated battery, and criminal damage to property.
