A fight in a gas station parking lot overnight sent one man to the hospital and another to the Manatee County jail.
On Jan. 22, at 7:36 p.m., officers responded to a disturbance at the Marathon gas station in the 2000 block of 14th St. W.
Witnesses reported that a customer, later identified as PS, ran over another customer with his vehicle.
Witnesses said S and the victim, who arrived separately, got into an argument inside the store and continued to fight in the parking lot.
S retrieved a hatchet from his car and threatened the victim. He then got into his vehicle and hit the victim before driving away.
The victim suffered injuries that included a broken leg.
S was arrested Thursday morning, and charged with:
- Aggravated battery with a deadly weapon
- Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon
- Leaving the scene of a crash involving serious bodily injury
The investigation is ongoing.
