Teenager arrested for alleged assault

Posted on Jul 15 2004

A 17-year-old boy was arrested for allegedly assaulting a man with a bottle of whiskey in Chalan Kanoa beach side Monday afternoon.

The police report said that victim Noel F. Fitial was at the Chalan Kanoa beach with a friend, Jeff Rangamar, when the suspect approached Fitial and asked if he knows how to speak Palauan. When Fitial said yes, the suspect allegedly challenged Rangamar to a fight. The victim tried to stop the commotion but tripped over his zorris (Japanese slippers) and fell to the ground.

The suspect then started beating up the victim with a whiskey bottle, hitting him on the head. The victim then ran to his brother’s house, which was nearby, to avoid the suspect.

The victim was wounded on his left eyebrow and sustained a small laceration on his left shin.

Dominic Flores, the victim’s older brother, drove him to the Commonwealth Heath Center for treatment.

The suspect was later arrested and taken to the central station in Garapan. (Cassie DLG Fejeran)
