Both men told officers they were hit in the head several times with a hammer in an unprovoked manner. Police later tracked down 36-year-old DeMario Handy several blocks away and he was arrested. He was put in jail for second-degree assault and use of a weapon to commit a felony.

One of the men was taken to a hospital with non life-threatening injuries. The other man was checked out at the scene and didn’t need any further medical attention.
