The suspect proceeded to physically assault the victim at which time he (21 year old) fled the residence. A 40 year old male occupant was also physically assaulted to the upper body by the suspect.   The 21 year old victim subsequently contacted a family member from a nearby payphone in order to be picked up.

The victim fled the area and police were notified.   Officers made contact with the occupants of the home and the 26 year old male suspect was taken into custody without incident.
