Police found an unconscious woman in a Sands hotel room, the victim of an apparent beating.

Sands security officers responded to a probable domestic call in the Sands hotel in Bethlehem on Monday. The officers heard a woman in distress in the room; when a man answered the door, he said everything was fine and slammed the door, police said.

Police said a person in the room next door heard yelling and a man threatening to kill a woman.

Bethlehem police officers arrived and broke into the room. They found an unconscious woman in the shower with water running on her. She appeared to be injured, police said.

A man in the room, Nicholas Mullins, 27, of Lock Haven, Pa., told police the woman assaulted him.

The woman was taken to St. Luke's Hospital and admitted for treatment.

Officers were able to interview the victim in the hospital on Tuesday and she said her boyfriend, Mullins, repeatedly assaulted her and forcibly put a pillow over her face to silence her, police said.

She suffered traumatic injuries to her head and brain, as well as her body, police said.

Mullins was arrested in Pottsville on Wednesday and charged with attempted homicide, aggravated assault and terroristic threats.

Mullin was committed to the Northampton County Prison on $150,000 bail.
