The incident unfolded Saturday night, March 28 on Westmoreland Road, where a verbal dispute inside a residence quickly turned physical and spilled outside.
By the time officers arrived, the situation had already escalated.
A man later identified as Timothy Rosario, 29, was seen standing in the street holding a large stick over his head near the victim.
Officers ordered him to drop the weapon and took him into custody without further incident.
Nearby, the victim was covered in blood and holding his head as officers rushed to provide aid.
