Robert E. Chambers Jr., the so-called "Preppy Killer," who strangled a young woman in Central Park in the 1980s, was arrested in Manhattan last night on charges of selling cocaine from his east midtown apartment, the police said.

Mr. Chambers's long-time companion, Shawn Kovell, 39, was also arrested on drug-selling charges after officers broke down the door to their high-rise apartment on 575 E. 57th Street. Two officers suffered hand injuries while struggling to arrest Mr. Chambers, 41, prompting the authorities to file additional charges of resisting arrest, the police said.
