PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A 70-year-old man has been charged with a felony after police say he broke a bottle over another man's head Wednesday night at an upscale Providence restaurant.

The police headed to Hemenway's at 121 South Main St. shortly after 7 p.m., and found a 47-year-old man on the ground in the bar area, bleeding from the head, according to a report provided by Maj. Thomas Verdi.

The police were told that another man, Donald F. Wright, 70, broke a bottle over the victim’s head. Wright was being held by another customer, and was sitting at the bar. Wright was taken into custody without incident and charged with felony assault.

Stephen Angell, the victim, was taken to Rhode Island Hospital in an ambulance. He told a patrolman and detective who later met with him at the hospital that he wanted to press charges.
