'Banned' 19-Year-Old From Glastonbury Accused Of Felony Assault At Frat Party In Mansfield: Warrant

MANSFIELD, CT — A 19-year-old from Glastonbury who was banned by an area fraternity because of behavior is accused of punching a fraternity representative after sneaking into a party, state police said.

On Nov. 5, Abdelrahman Zeineldin, 19, surrendered to state police at the Troop C barracks on an active warrant. He was charged with a felony — second-degree assault (a strike to the head rendering unconsciousness) — along with second-degree breach of peace. His initial $100,000 bond was reduced to a promise to appear on Dec. 17 at his arraignment that same day, judicial system records show.

According to a warrant, state police responded to an assault complaint at a Hunting Lodge Road residence that took place several days earlier. The 20-year-old man who made the complaint identified himself as a "risk management representative" for a fraternity who was "responsible for the safety of its members and (event) attendees, according to a warrant.

According to a warrant, on Oct. 12, Zeineldin was at a fraternity party despite being "blacklisted from all fraternity events due to his prior history." The security rep told state police that he went to the party in an effort to locate Zeineldin and ask him to leave, according to a warrant.

Zeineldin then became "aggressive" and punched the security rep, thus knocking him out, according to a warrant. The security rep was bleeding heavily when taken to an area hospital, according to a warrant.
