Coralville man arrested for assault with weapon

Coralville police arrested a man after he allegedly assaulted a woman with a knife.

Moris Mauricio Trujillo, 29, was charged July 12 with domestic-abuse assault while displaying a weapon.

According to a complaint, Trujillo grabbed a woman’s arm and shook her before grabbing her by the hair and hitting her with closed fists on the chest after pushing her down.

Trujillo then allegedly took a knife from the kitchen and threatened her with it before she grabbed the blade. Reports said he pulled the knife blade away, leaving a cut on the woman’s hand.
