Convicted batterer arrested after allegedly pushing woman to ground

A convicted batterer was arrested after allegedly pushing a woman to the ground.

David Hummel, 47, was arrested Saturday morning after he was caught on surveillance involved in an altercation with the woman at an RV, according to an arrest report from the Wildwood Police Department.

In the video, Hummel could be seeing walking toward the woman, even though she sent clear signals she did not want to be approached. He used both of his hands to push the woman, causing her to stumble back into a lantern and fall to the ground.
