Police were called to a Radcliffe Rd. residence to investigate a reported assault with a deadly weapon report at approximately 1 a.m. last Saturday.

The alleged victim reportedly told officers that he had gotten into an argument with the suspect, Gladison Sandes, 33, as they stood outside the Paddock Cafe on Pearl Street.

Sandes pulled out a knife, according to the alleged victim and other witnesses, and chased the alleged victim down the street for several blocks, to Sandes’ residence, where he has been staying while he is going through a divorce.

Two witnesses reportedly followed the men in a truck and eventually attempted to stop Sandes. One of the witnesses was accidentally cut while confronting Sandes, according to reports.

The alleged victim managed to place a phone call to 911 as he was being chased and, according to reports, he felt that he was in danger of losing his life.

Police found Sandes at his residence and placed him under arrest on a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon.
