Replay Video UP NEXT
A man is under arrest after police say he assaulted a woman and set a building on fire during a domestic dispute in Orange County Monday.
It happened just after 7:30 p.m. in the Buttonwood Hills Apartment Complex on Concord Lane in Middletown, where authorities say they were called for both the dispute and reports of a fire at Building 8, which houses roughly 20 apartments.
Arriving officers found a 37-year-old woman who was bleeding from the face. Police say she and her three children had to jump from a second floor balcony as the fire quickly spread to neighboring units.

New York hospitals received mixed safety grades from a consumer watchdog group that analyzed conditions just before the COVID-19 pandemic struck last spring.
Only 16 hospitals statewide, or 10.7%, received the highest A safety grade from Leapfrog, a Washington, DC-based nonprofit, while 30 hospitals received the second-lowest D grade. Just one, New York Community Hospital in Brooklyn, received an F.
The review looked at a variety of serious health-related issues, including data related to infectious disease prevention metrics considered crucial to limiting the spread of coronavirus.
“Seeing how well hospitals are doing on infection prevention, in general, may indicate how well they were able to control the spread of COVID inside their facility,” said Erica Mobley, vice president of administration at Leapfrog.

Two highly anticipated bills that would establish safer staffing levels in both hospitals and nursing homes have now cleared the New York State Legislature with bipartisan support.
Nancy Hagans, a critical care registered nurse at Maimonides Medical Center, says this pandemic exposed what many people already knew.
“We were at a deficit to begin with,” Hagans said. “Now, we had the pandemic and as nurses, we had to do what we needed to do in order to care for our patients and save as many lives as we can. And I truly believe, and we truly believe as nurses, if we had enough staffing, if we had a nurse-patient ratio, we could have saved more lives.”
