A Brecknock Township man was assaulted over a dispute about a bowl of noodles Thursday night, police said.

Brian Douglas Hunter Jr., 23, of Mohnton, made ramen noodles for a late-night meal and asked a 20-year-old Mohnton man to eat some of them, state police Trooper Curtis L. Matthews said.

When the younger man declined, Hunter punched him in the face 10 to 15 times, causing a bruised, swollen right eye and a 1-inch cut under the eye, Matthews said. It happened shortly before 11:30 p.m. in the 800 block of Martin Church Road.

Police charged Hunter with simple assault and harassment before District Judge Rodney Hartman.
