Authorities: South Jersey Man Attacks Brother With Machete
CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) — Aggravated assault charges have been filed against a southern New Jersey man who allegedly attacked his brother with a machete this week.
Camden County police say 51-year-old Adrian Mendarte, of Camden, also faces weapons charges stemming from the attack. But they have not said what provoked the incident.
Mendarte was arrested as he tried to enter his home moments after the attack occurred. Authorities say they recovered the machete that he allegedly used.
The victim was treated at a hospital for undisclosed injuries and was later released.
Mendarte's bail was set at $50,000 sand it was not known Sunday if he has retained a lawyer.
No other injuries were reported in the incident, which occurred Tuesday night.
