NEW YORK (AP) — Police say a Manhattan man has been arrested on assault charges in the death of his 63-year-old mother.

Police say 45-year-old Leonard Arzu was involved in a domestic dispute with his mother in their apartment on Sunday when he threw her to the ground. EMS responded and took the mother to the hospital after she complained of difficulty breathing.

Police say the mother, identified as Betty Arzu, was pronounced dead on arrival.

The son was arrested at the scene. It was not clear if he had a lawyer.

    Man, if I ever even THOUGHT about raising a hand to my mother, I’d wind up in the hospital. She’d have put me there. There are things you do not do. You don’t tempt fate, you don’t make fun of the pope and you don’t hit your mother. Ever. There is no atonement, penance or forgiveness for that.

    Mothers are precious and should on no account be assaulted even if they get physical with you. For a son to be accused of the death of his own mother is a red line crossed. Any hope of atonement? I wonder!May her soul rest in perfect peace.

    The man need to be medically examined, if the result is nagative, he should be charged for murder.
