A third person tried to chase him away, but as he was running, police said the man picked up a garden rake out of the back of a pickup and used it to hit the person in the head and ribs. There were no serious injuries.

Police arrested the man around 3 a.m. and discovered he was under court conditions to obey a curfew and not to drink alcohol or possess weapons.

The man was charged with assault, two counts of assault with a weapon, and failing to comply with his bail conditions.
