Two Scranton men face charges after police said they brutally assaulted another male at a city gas station Monday night.<\/p>\n
Officers responded to the Sunoco, 234 S. Main Ave., around 10:48 p.m. for the report of an assault where the victim was unresponsive but breathing, according to a criminal complaint. The suspects fled before officers arrived, police said.<\/p>\n
Officers immediately began rendering aid to the victim \u2014 identified as Terrence Dantzler \u2014 who was transported to Geisinger Community Medical Center.<\/p>\n
In surveillance footage provided by the gas station manager, officers observed the suspects arrive in a white Acura, according to the criminal complaint.<\/p>\n
The driver and registered owner of the vehicle \u2014 identified as Jamil Davis, 34, 916 W. Locust St. \u2014 was wearing blue pajama pants and a black T-shirt, officers said. The rear passenger \u2014 identified as Rashaun Hudson, 50, 442 Aswell Court \u2014 was wearing black shorts, a white T-shirt, a black hat and boots.<\/p>\n
The footage shows a verbal argument between Dantzler and Davis and Hudson, according to the criminal complaint. Seconds later, Hudson pushed Dantzler against a wall and punched him multiple times.<\/p>\n
Davis also assaulted Dantzler, punching him repeatedly in the head and face, according to the criminal complaint.<\/p>\n
While being attacked by the two men, Dantzler fell to the ground and struck his head on the pavement, appearing to lose consciousness, police said.<\/p>\n
Davis continued punching Dantzler in the head while he lay motionless on the ground, officers added.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Hudson threw a glass alcohol bottle at Dantzler, striking him in the head, before the two suspects fled in the Acura.<\/p>\n
Officers established surveillance at Davis\u2019 residence and witnessed the two suspects wearing the same clothes as in the video footage, according to the criminal complaint. A white Acura with the same registration as the vehicle at the gas station was also parked at the residence, police said.<\/p>\n
Both suspects were taken into custody inside the residence after initially ignoring commands from police, according to the criminal complaint.<\/p>\n
Police charged Davis and Hudson with aggravated assault, simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct.<\/p>\n
As of Wednesday, Davis and Hudson remained in Lackawanna County Prison in lieu of $50,000 bail each. A preliminary hearing for both men is scheduled Aug. 17 at 9:45 a.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two Scranton men face charges after police said they brutally assaulted another male at a city gas station…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":259799,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[202,201,182,139,28,178,180,179,181],"class_list":["post-259798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-scranton","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-lackawanna-county","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-pennsylvania","tag-scranton","tag-scranton-headlines","tag-scranton-news","tag-top-stories-stt"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=259798"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259798\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/259799"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=259798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=259798"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=259798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
