According to the police report, at approximately 1:30 a.m. Monday morning, several APD officers were summoned to the area of Puffton Village on North Pleasant Street for a reported fight. Upon arrival, they discovered an unresponsive 19-year-old male from Agawam, Mass. who appeared to be suffering from a severe head wound.

After securing the scene, the officers learned that the victim had been struck in the head by another male armed with a wooden instrument, possibly a bat.

The victim, who is not a UMass student, was transported to Baystate Medical Center where he received treatment for his injuries. He has since been released.

A subsequent investigation of the incident led to the identification of Timothy J. Martin, 19, of Fall River, Mass., as a suspect. Martin was arrested on Monday, Nov. 9, at approximately 2:06 p.m. on charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. He was kept in custody in lieu of $250 bail and will be arraigned at the Eastern Hampshire District Court in Belchertown.
