While on the ground the suspect freely admitted that he did in fact assault the man while declaring that he recently “took crack”. The suspect was visibly under the influence of a narcotic.

When police arrived they took the suspect into custody and called an ambulance for him. Officers at the scene said that they would be taking him to the psyche ward.
