Assault charge stems from attack with hammer
A Dayton man has been accused of assaulting another man with a hammer Thursday.
George Edward Green, 50, faces two counts of felonious assault, according to the Dayton Municipal Court.
Police responded to the 2200 block of East Fifth Street around noon after a 911 caller said he was being beaten with a hammer. The caller told police he was hit around his head and body with the hammer, but the suspect had fled in a green Cadillac.
A detective found the suspect vehicle near McLain and Jude streets, and police found Green at a house in the 1600 block of McLain Street.
Court documents said Greene “acknowledged chasing [the man] with a hammer due to a dispute over bicycles.” Greene told a detective that he “blacked out” during the assault and didn’t recall what happened, documents said.
