Man accused in hammer attack indicted
A 50-year-old Dayton man indicted Friday is accused of striking another man with a hammer earlier this month in Dayton.
George Edward
Green is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court for two counts of felonious assault.
Police responded around noon May 6 to the 2200 block of East Fifth Street. A man who called 911 told police that he was hit with a hammer around his head and body. The suspect, identified as Green, fled in a green Cadillac and the victim was treated at Miami Valley Hospital, according to an affidavit filed in Dayton Municipal Court.
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. During an interview with a detective, Green “acknowledged chasing [the man] with a hammer due to a dispute over bicycles,” court documents read. “George Edward Green said he ‘blacked out’ during the assault and did not remember what happened.”
Police also reported finding the suspected weapon at the McLain Street house.
Green remains held in the Montgomery County Jail.
