CHARLOTTE AMALIE — A St. Thomas man is in jail after a brutal attack put his female victim in the hospital emergency room with serious injuries.
Jackoy Mulraine, 25, was arrested and charged with third-degree assault, mayhem, first-degree unlawful sexual contact, disturbance of the peace (fighting) and simple assault, the Virgin Islands Police Department said.
The case began at 1:47 p.m. Saturday, when officers from the Richard Callwood Command were dispatched to the Deli Bank Bar on Regjerrings Gade regarding an assault, according to the VIPD.
