PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (WHDH) - Two suspects allegedly used aluminum baseball bats to beat up their neighbor in Portsmouth, New Hampshire on Wednesday evening.
Officers responding to several 911 calls regarding a fight between neighbors in the Gosling Meadows housing development on Wedgewood Road around 4 p.m. found the alleged victim with an injury to his arm and a laceration to his head, police said.
Investigators reviewed surveillance video provided by the Portsmouth Housing Authority Staff, which allegedly showed 45-year-old Rene Laverde and 41-year-old Joshua Burnett assaulting the victim with the bats.
The victim was transported to Portsmouth Regional Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Burnett and Laverde were taken into custody and held without bail pending their arraignment on first degree assault charges.
