Ansonia police have arrested a Bridgeport police officer on charges he kidnapped and hit a fellow Bridgeport officer during a domestic dispute.
Thirty-two-year-old Andre Orbegozo, of Naugatuck, was charged with second-degree assault with a firearm and second-degree kidnapping with a firearm.
Police say Ansonia officers were sent to investigate at around 3:30 a.m. Wednesday at Griffin Hospital in Derby, where Orbegozo and the victim went after the incident.

The woman was treated and released.
