Police: Three Charged with Assaulting Drunk Man in Sleepy Hollow

Sleepy Hollow Police responded to an early morning 911 call from someone yelling that they needed help at 22 Clinton Street. 

Officers arrived around 5:30 a.m. on Sept. 22 and requested ambulance assistance for an injured man who they described as intoxicated and uncooperative.

Apparently some sort of fight had taken place between the man and three other men. Police tried to get the man to identify his alleged assailants but police said they were having little luck due to the level of the victim's alleged intoxication.

The victim, a 33-year-old Sleepy Hollow man, was taken to Phelps Memorial Hospital for his condition, which Chief Gregory Camp categorized as "not too seriously injured," and provided with information to contact police to make a statement and identify suspects later. 

Camp said the fight stemmed from "some sort of personal problem, not a robbery attempt."

Police had two possible suspects identified and noted a car had damage in front the residence that possibly related to the fight. It is still unclear, said Camp, if the car's damage was connected to this incident. 

An officer went to Phelps to try to find out more information, and at 9:15 a.m. the victim was able to get to headquarters to make a statement.

Police arrested the first suspect, a 28-year-old Sleepy Hollow man, on Elm Street on Sept. 23 at 12:10 p.m.

The second, arrested on Chestnut Street on Sept. 25 at 3:24 p.m., is a 19-year-old Sleepy Hollow man.

The third is an 18-year-old Sleepy Hollow man arrested on Cortlandt Street on Sept. 25 at 5:23 p.m. 

All three were charged with assault in the third degree.

Note: An arrest does not indicate a conviction.
