WILKES-BARRE — A man faces a summary harassment charge after a domestic dispute allegedly turned physical Tuesday, police said.

Police say a 42-year-old woman was engaged in a domestic dispute with her husband, John Sanmartino, and her children at their North Pennsylvania Avenue home at about 4:13 p.m

Upon officers’ arrival, those involved were separated and “the general consensus was that, at some point, the confrontation turned physical” and that Sanmartino pushed the caller’s son, resulting in redness and bruising to the area with which Sanmartino allegedly made contact, police said.
