A Madison man was arrested and tentatively charged with battery Friday night after allegedly attacking a 22-year-old man the prior Tuesday.
According to a police report, a Madison police officer located the suspect inside a residence in the 400 block of West Wilson Street. The suspect, Jason ""New York"" Moore, 28, is accused of attacking the victim in the same apartment building in which the arrest was made.
Moore reportedly said he believed the victim had threatened a mutual female acquaintance, at whose apartment both men had slept.
When the victim arrived at the apartment Feb. 24, Moore reportedly attacked him upon arrival. The victim says Moore punched him around 15 times in the face and head.
After going to a local emergency room, the victim called police to report the incident later Tuesday night. He suffered facial bumps and bruises and had a chipped tooth.
Moore was arrested and tentatively charged with substantial battery.
