CHARLOTTE AMALIE — A St. Thomas man didn’t like the direction an argument took on Monday night, so he went to his car and got a baseball bat and beat the man he disagreed with, with it.
The 911 Emergency Call Center dispatched detectives to the Schneider Regional Medical Center (SRMC) in reference to an assault victim about 10:19 p.m. Monday, the Virgin Islands Police Department said.
“The victim reported that he was at his residence in Estate Tutu when the suspect approached him and started arguing,” VIPD spokesman Toby Derima said. “The suspect reportedly retrieved a bat from his vehicle and assaulted the victim.”
The victim was transported to the hospital by private vehicle for treatment, Derima said.
Detectives are asking anyone who has information on this incident to call 911, the Criminal Investigation Bureau at (340) 774-2211 extension 5579 or Crime Stoppers USVI at (800) 222-8477.
“Remember, if you see something, say something,” the VIPD says.
