ALL she wanted was to know if her husband was okay.
She was worried about her husband, who had been drinking too much lately. But that irritated him as he took a beer bottle and bashed his wife on the head with it.
The husband is now behind bars, facing a charge of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
The 53-year-old husband was arrested by the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD) on Monday, 29 January and appeared in the Daveyton Magistrates Court on Wednesday, 31 January and the case has been postponed to next Wednesday, 7 February.

Lieutenant-Colonel Kelebogile Thepa said a 50-year-old wife alleged that on Sunday, 28 January, that her husband came home late while under the influence of alcohol.
"The concerned wife kept on asking an intoxicated husband how his day was and without any explanation, the husband became irritated and attacked the wife, with the bottle of beer, hitting her on the head before he left the house."
"The bleeding wife managed to go to the Daveyton Police Station on Monday, 29 January where a case of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm was registered," said Thepa.
The EMPD officers traced and arrested the suspect on Monday, 29 January.
The wife said she was only concerned about the husband as she wasn't himself.
