A third suspect in a beating earlier this month at Buchanan Park is in custody.

Bhanu Bhattarai, 26, turned himself in to authorities in Columbus, Ohio Thursday afternoon, officials said.

Bhattarai, whose last known address is in Columbus, will be extradited to Lancaster County in coming days.

He is one of three men charged in the brutal beating of a 25-year-old Lancaster man earlier this month at the Lancaster city park.

Giri Ganesh and Ishwor Chhetri were arrested Wednesday morning at separate addresses in Lancaster County by the Fugitive Apprehension Unit and Lancaster city police.

Ganesh, 27, was arrested at a home in the 500 block of Juniata Street in Lancaster city, according to the Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office. Chhetri, 26, was arrested at his home in the 700 block of Barrcrest Lane in West Hempfield Township.

Both men were arraigned Wednesday afternoon by District Judge Mary Mongiovi Sponaugle and committed to Lancaster County Prison in lieu of $100,000 each.

The victim suffered injuries that included a brain bleed, broken nose and facial fractures, in addition to cuts and bruises in the attack that occurred in the early morning hours of April 11, according to police.

The victim told investigators he and the three men had been playing pool and drinking beer at the Shamrock Cafe, 312 W. Walnut St., when he decided to go home around 9 p.m., according to an affidavit.

Chhetri offered the man a ride, but instead of taking him home, Chhetri drove to the park. The three men pulled the victim from the vehicle and began punching and kicking him, police said.

The victim said he was kicked and punched on his entire body, including his face.

Ganesh then stripped the victim down to his underwear and beat him with his belt, the affidavit states. The victim tried to run away but Chhetri grabbed him and punched him in the face, according to authorities.

The victim said Ganesh then began choking him with his belt, but that one of the other men intervened.

"You're lucky he stopped me because I was going to kill you by hanging you," Ganesh said to the victim, according to the affidavit.

The victim managed to get away and went to a home on West Vine Street. He reported the assault to police later in the morning, just before 9:30 a.m.

At that time, the victim was transported to Lancaster General Hospital by ambulance and was admitted for treatment of his injuries, police said.

According to the affidavit, Chhetri was wearing bloodstained pants during an interview with Officer Michael Deitz at the city police station on April 11.

When asked about the blood, Chhetri said it was from Ganesh and the victim and said he injured his hand and knee while trying to separate the two, police said. Officials said the top of Chhetri's right hand had bruises around the knuckles.

Deitz asked Chhetri why he was still wearing the bloodstained pants to which Chhetri responded that he had slept in them the night before, according to the affidavit.

Charges against the three were filed April 12.
