SEATTLE - A woman was arrested Wednesday night after she used her 2004 Mercedes Benz 500 as a battering ram to repeatedly hit her ex-boyfriend's car and push it down an embankment, police said.

Officers were called to the scene, in the 1800 block of 24th Avenue, at about 7:10 p.m. Wednesday after receiving reports about the woman's bizarre behavior.

According to witnesses, the suspect used her car to ram the other car five to 10 times.

The suspect, a 34-year-old woman, eventually was able to push her ex-boyfriend’s vehicle down a six-foot embankment and into a neighbor’s fence, said Seattle Police Detective Mark Jamieson.

In the process, she got her Mercedes stuck on top of the other car. The ex-boyfriend, who was not in the car at time, and several other people witnessed the woman's actions, Jamieson said.

The woman was arrested and later booked into the King County Jail for investigation of malicious michief-domestic violence. Detectives are now handling the follow-up investigation.
