Mets reliever Ambiorix Burgos was arrested late Monday night on suspicion of beating and biting his girlfriend in a Queens hotel, the police said. According to a criminal complaint, Burgos threw the woman, Maria Lopez, against a wall and repeatedly slapped and punched her inside a Holiday Inn near Shea Stadium. The complaint, citing Lopez's account, said that she called 911 but declined to seek medical attention after sustaining a lump on her head and scratches on her back, arms and chest. Burgos was charged with one count of third-degree assault, punishable by up to one year in prison, and one count of second-degree harassment.
