A 22-year-old man who, according to a police report, broke into an apartment on Gilman Street Wednesday and assaulted the 47-year-old resident with a knife is being tentatively charged with second-degree attempted homicide.
According to the police report, Reinaldo Garcia broke into the apartment at 1:30 a.m. looking for the victim because of an ongoing dispute between the two men.
Garcia allegedly cut the victim's leg before the two men fought in the apartment and outside in an alley.
The suspect fled on foot when police arrived.
However after a short chase ensued, an officer used a taser on the suspect and took him into custody.
The suspect and victim were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Garcia has also been charged with possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia after drugs were allegedly found in his pockets and backpack, according to the report.
