Boca Raton police said two people were arrested in connection with a domestic altercation spilled out of a hotel lobby Tuesday and resulted in a fight in a parking lot.

The incident took place just after 9 a.m. Tuesday at the Residence Inn Boca Raton, located at 525 NW 77th Street. According to police, a domestic disturbance in the lobby of the hotel led to a physical altercation outside. As officers arrived, a male, believed to have been armed, fled on foot back into his hotel room. Eventually, the man exited the room and was taken into custody.

As a result of the investigation, the man – whose name has not yet been released by police – was arrested and charged with simple battery and aggravated assault.

A woman who was associated with the couple was also arrested on scene for an outstanding warrant. Her name, likewise, was not divulged publicly.
