Campbell assault

CAMPBELL

A man accused of punching another man so hard he had to go to the hospital is charged with assault. Anthony Hlebovy of Chambers Street will be arraigned Friday in municipal court.

A police report says Charles Schell, 56, a neighbor of Hlebovy’s, was found lying on the ground around 2 a.m. Wednesday in front of a home in the neighborhood.

Schell was knocked unconscious and had a severe cut on his face, the report said. He was treated at St. Elizabeth Health Center.

Witnesses told police Hlebovy was asked to leave the porch at the home, and he abruptly punched Schell. Witnesses said he hit him two more times in the face after he fell, the police report indicates.

He ran home and locked himself in his house, but came out later to talk to police, the report says. He said he thought the fight was mutual. He was arrested and posted bond.
