COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Colorado Springs Police officers arrested a man early Sunday morning for allegedly beating and strangling a woman.

Officers said someone called them about a domestic disturbance around 1:29 a.m. When they got to the home in the 2600 block of Squaw Creek Heights, they heard a man yelling at a woman inside while she was crying.

According to officers, nobody answered the door, so they forced their way in.
