Court records show Brookfield doctor, Abdel Alqwasmi, has been charged with a felony for domestic violence, strangulation, and suffocation.
Because this is a domestic violence incident, we are not identifying the victim.
According to the criminal complaint, officers responded to a domestic violence incident at a Brookfield home on January 20.
The victim told officers that an argument escalated into a physical altercation during which they believed they were going to die.

"He tried to strangle me, very hard," the victim said to investigators.
The victim's statement reported ongoing physical and emotional abuse by Alqwasmi, saying he had tried to physically harm the victim during arguments.
A biography on the Froedtert and Medical College of Wisconsin's website on Thursday afternoon listed Alqwasmi as a doctor specializing in oncology and hematology.
He is listed as working at the Cancer Center and Froedtert Menomonee Falls Hospital.
When asked about Alqwasmi's employment at Froedtert, a spokesperson said "the physician in question is not currently practicing."
The Department of Safety and Professional Services, which provides licenses through the Wisconsin Medical Board, told TMJ4 an investigation is underway.
"We received a complaint earlier this year noting that he had been arrested, and we opened an investigation last month," the department said in an email.
Records show his medical license is still active.
