WHITMAN, MASS. (WHDH) - A Brockton man left a woman seriously injured after knocking her to the ground, kicking her in the head, and hitting her with a child’s bicycle in Whitman on Wednesday night, police said.
Officers responding to a reported fight near 912 Bedford St. around 8:20 p.m. spotted the assault suspect, identified as 34-year-old Yvens Hilaire, trying to flee the scene in a vehicle, according to Brockton police.
He was stopped a short distance away and taken into custody.
The victim of the assault was transported to a local hospital with injuries that police say are believed to be serious but non-life-threatening.
Hilaire is expected to be arraigned Thursday in Brockton District Court on two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and one count of assault and battery.
Hilaire also allegedly had an outstanding warrant.
