Authorities arrested a Northeast Philly man for his alleged attack on another male in Lower Moyamensing Saturday.

Responding to a call of a person with a weapon at 10th Street and Snyder Avenue, they met with the victim, who stated someone had struck his head with an unknown object, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He received transport to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital for cuts to his head and left side, arm and shoulder soreness.

Officers surveyed the area and brought a possible suspect to the site, where the victim positively identified the figure as his attacker, Tolliver said. They arrested 48-year-old Northeast Philly resident Louis Bartholetti and charged him with possession of an instrument of crime, simple and aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person. Authorities had no insight on what caused the matter or the relationship, if any, between the men.
