Police arrested a 27 year old man Sunday morning after he allegedly beat and choked two people with a mop handle.

At 5:21 a.m. Sunday, police said Eugene Colangeli, 27, of 222 Fellsway, stormed into his roommates room yelling and screaming. After being asked to leave, Colangeli opened the door and allegedly pushed it into one of the roommates. Police said he grabbed a mop and repeatedly struck both roommates with it. Colangeli then chased one roommate out into the street before re-entering the apartment and choking the remaining roommate, police said.

When police arrived, one victim was allegedly bleeding from the mouth and had a bloody lump on his left cheek. The victim allegedly told police, “Eugene is going crazy, he beat up {victim’s name redacted} and me with a mop handle. He’s really drunk.”

Police entered the apartment, where Colangeli was allegedly screaming and cursing.

After interviewing the victims, police “informed the screaming defendant that he was under arrest.”
