The suspects then fled.

Authorities described the second suspect as a light-complexioned, white or Hispanic man with several tattoos on both arms, about 5 foot 9 inches and 160 pounds. The suspect was wearing a long-sleeved, black shirt with an attached hood, blue-colored jeans, white and black-colored sneakers, and a red, fitted baseball cap with a black-colored New York Yankees logo.

Maiolini has been charged with aggravated assault in the second degree and endangering an injured victim.
