76th Precinct
Carroll Gardens-Cobble Hill–Red Hook
Choking and cutting
Police arrested a man who they say assaulted another man on Visitation Place on July 26 — leaving him with wounds needing medical attention.
The victim said he was between Van Brunt and Richards streets at 9:30 pm when the suspect, along with an unapprehended female, repeatedly punched him in the face and body.
A female witness said she saw the suspect then place the victim in a chokehold, causing him to pass out, while the accomplice cut him with a broken glass bottle.
The victim sustained several lacerations to the face and arms, requiring approximately 100 stitches at a local hospital, cops said.
