A stormy brawl between WABC weatherman Bill Evans and his wife turned nasty when she scratched his manhood during the knock-down, drag-out fight over a set of keys, he claims.

The Channel 7 meteorologist and his soon-to-be divorced wife, Dana Evans, gave police wildly conflicting versions of the violent, auto-moving throw down on the night of May 4.

Bill Evans claims that his wife “grabbed the waist band of his underwear and reached for his scrotum with her free hand, subsequently scratching it (his scrotum), which resulted in bleeding,” according to the affidavit.

The confrontation started when she humiliated him in front of their kids, he claimed.

“Dana began to insult him in front of their children and told him that he does not live there nor is he wanted there,” according to according to an affidavit by Greenwich police officer Kristin Lindstrom, summarizing BIll Evans’ version of events.

His daughter asked him to move the car. He told her that he would after he changed, the affidavit said.

“Dana then stormed into the room and dumped the contents of his work bag on to the bed and retrieved the keys,” according to the document.

When Bill Evans asked for his keys back, “Dana then punched him with her right hand on the left side of his face while holding the keys and then slapped him,” the WABC weatherman told police.

He said that she tried to “karate kick” him, but fell on the slippery hardwood floor.

That’s when the fight turned really nasty, he claims, and she scratched his testicles.

He says he then pushed her away, but she came at him with a wooden clothes hanger, whipping him in the back and buttocks.

His wife’s version of events is drastically different.

Dana Evans, 48, said she wanted to move cars outside their Old Greenwich driveway, so they could both leave on time the next morning.

She went into the bedroom and asked for the car keys. But Bill Evans refused to give them up, according to the affidavit documenting her version of events.

The wife then tried to get the keys herself and Bill Evans “grabbed her by the left hand at which time she attempted to throw the keys across the room and out the door,” Lindstrom’s report showed.

“That the keys landed in the closet and they both attempted to reach the keys first.”

He shoved her, she said, so she tried to kick him away. He grabbed her leg, forcing her to fall, she said.

Dana said he punched her in the right eye with a closed fist as she backed away. She defended herself with the clothes hanger, she said.

Both Bill and Dana Evans were charged with disorderly conduct and assault in the third degree.

They were both ordered to stay away from each other.
