TOLEDO, Ohio — Authorities responded to an east Toledo residence early Tuesday after a man allegedly hit another man with a baseball bat during an argument.
According to a Toledo police report, crews arrived at an apartment unit in the 300 block of Euclid Avenue in east Toledo at approximately 12:57 a.m. Crews spoke with the victim, a 37-year-old, who told police he and 56-year-old Nickolas Martinez got into an argument, after which Martinez struck the victim in the face with a baseball bat, breaking his jaw. According to court documents, Martinez also punched the victim.
Toledo Fire and Rescue responded to the scene and transported the victim to the hospital.
Martinez refused to allow police entrance into the apartment, so crews forced entry, police claimed.
Police then took the suspect into custody without further incident.
Martinez was charged with felonious assault and arraigned in Toledo Municipal Court later Tuesday morning. He was released on supervised own recognizance, electronic monitoring and is to have no contact with the victim.
He is due back in court on June 7.
