A man says he is left with fractured vertebrae after an alleged domestic-violence attack by his ex-girlfriend. According to reports, Shannon Galligan, 28, hits her ex on the head with a saucepan, then stabs him in the arm, throttles him, and strikes him with a pole. He later flees by jumping out of a window to escape the assault.

The accounts describe a violent sequence of injuries and an attempt to escape during the incident. One report emphasizes the defendant’s background as “privately educated,” while the other focuses on the physical details of the assault and the resulting injuries. Both sources describe the same core events: the alleged attack, the man’s injuries, and his escape through a window.
