Suspect arrested after baseball bat assault

A 25-year-old has been arrested after a seemingly unprovoked attack involving a baseball bat.

Shortly before 5 p.m. on July 2, Windsor police officers responded to a report of an assault with a weapon at a residence on Riverside Drive East near Patrice Drive.

Officers learned that a contractor working outside the home was approached by an unknown man wearing only underwear and carrying a baseball bat.

The suspect then allegedly attacked the victim, striking him approximately 12 times, including four blows to the head, in what investigators believe to be a random assault.

The victim then went into the residence and locked the door.

The suspect followed and smashed the front sidelight and front door windows, causing approximately $1,500 in damage, before leaving.

The victim has non-life-threatening injuries.

Officers found and arrested the suspect at a nearby residence.

Tiger Yang has been charged with assault with a weapon and mischief under $5,000. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Major Crimes Unit at 519-255-6700, ext. 4830.
