WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — A Westchester County mayor accused of roughing up his wife is fending off resignation demands.

White Plains Mayor Adam Bradley agreed Monday to be evaluated and to take domestic violence classes if they’re recommended.

The majority of the city’s Common Council then called for him to quit. Bradley said he won’t.

He’s pleaded not guilty to assault, witness tampering and other charges.

Fumiko (FOO’-mee-koh) Bradley accused him of throwing a cup of hot tea at her, and slamming a door on her hand.

She later announced she did not want Bradley prosecuted. Court papers say Bradley suggested she hang herself while pressuring her to recant.

Bradley stresses that he has a “right to due process.”
