Butler County man arrested after Buffalo Township woman tells clinic staff he beat, strangled her

A Butler County man was charged with multiple felonies after a Buffalo Township woman went to a clinic for face and head injuries and told medical staff that he punched and strangled her.

Bradley Borg, 32, of Bessemer Avenue in Butler Township was charged with two felony counts of strangulation and a felony count of aggravated assault in connection with a Dec. 31 incident, according to the criminal complaint filed on the incident.

Borg also was charged with resisting arrest after, police say, he fled from officers who tried to take him into custody.

He is being detained in the Butler County Prison after failing to post a $10,000 bond, according to court records. He faces a preliminary hearing before District Judge Sue Haggerty on Jan. 12.

Police said they were dispatched to Butler Health System’s FasterCare clinic in Buffalo Township after medical staff there questioned the woman about how she suffered the injuries to her head and face.

An officer who responded to the clinic said he saw a man “pacing in front of the building” who took off running when he saw police, the complaint said.

The officer interviewed the woman at the clinic, who told him that Borg was at her house and became “agitated” when she told him that she was driving him back to his home, police said.

She said Borg punched her in the head and face multiple times and strangled her twice during the dispute, according to the complaint.

After beating the woman, Borg offered to take her to the FasterCare clinic for treatment but tried to “convince her to lie about how the injuries occurred,” the complaint said.

The officer noted in his report that the woman, who identified Borg as the man waiting outside the clinic for her, had multiple injuries to her head and face that were photographed and submitted as evidence.

She was transported to Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh for treatment of possible head trauma, the complaint said.

About an hour after Borg fled from the clinic off of South Pike Road (Route 356), he was spotted by police on the other side of the road near the Freeport Area High School football field, on Monroe Road, police said.

Borg, however, refused to comply with an officer’s commands and fled into a nearby wooded area near the Rosebrook Assisted Living center, according to the complaint.

He was captured a short time later near the area where he was last seen, the complaint said.
