"They took her to the hospital right away, to Lahey, and took him in handcuffs," Doris Joncas said.

The relative told WBZ-TV the woman is hurt "very bad."

"Brain bleed and broken bones in her face," Joncas said, "so I don't know if she's come to or not."

Lahey Clinic confirmed the victim is in critical condition.

Police are not commenting, saying more information will be released in court Monday. Doris Joncas says the woman was the victim of a savage attack.

"Well he kicked her, kicked her in the head. That's what they say. They said when they put him in the cruiser, they said 'take his shoes, when you get up to the station take his sneakers. We want that for evidence because he's going to court Monday.'"
