Witnesses said that prior to police arriving, a 2010 Toyota Prius had been damaged. The victim of the assault had been sitting in the car when the driver side window was smashed and the driver side door was damaged. The door was so broken it could no longer close, according to police.

The victim of the assault had to be taken to St. John Medical Center for treatment, police records show. Their current status is unknown.

The Prius was towed from the scene. Police have not yet responded to Patch's request for additional information on the incident.

The suspect appeared in Avon Lake Municipal Court this week and pleaded not guilty to the charges of assault. He will go to trial in April. 012
