A man called police on Feb. 24 to report that his brother had bashed in his car window, but the caller himself was arrested after police arrived and found that he’d beaten his brother bloody.
The incident happened in the 500 block of East Drain Street, according to the suspect’s arrest report.
BPD officers arrived at the home to speak to the alleged car-basher, but the man was so injured that he couldn’t give a written statement and asked police to take him to the hospital.
While he was being treated, an officer checked area surveillance cameras.
The footage showed the beating victim throw something at the caller's BMW.
The caller got out of the car, grabbed a large stick and chased his brother to an empty lot at East Drain Street and South Cherry Street, tackling him and beating him with the stick, causing “serious injury,” the report said.
The caller walked home. The injured brother followed shortly after, and smashed the BMW’s window.
The beating victim said he wanted to pursue charges.
The attacker has been charged with felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
He was taken to jail and released the next day on $35,000 bond.
