A 48 year old man was injured in a confrontation Wednesday morning at an apartment complex on North Water Street.

Corpus Christi Police were called to the 300 block of Interstate Highway 37 to assist Emergency Medical Technicians with a trauma complaint that may have been the result of criminal activity. Police were told that the 48 year old man was struck by an object after he and a 33 year old man attempted to help a 35 year old female stranger.

The police officers were told that the two men were told a story of domestic violence and were asked to escort the woman back to her apartment to retrieve some property. The victim said once at the apartment, the woman told her 39 year old boyfriend a different story and claimed the two men that escorted her had attacked her. The victim said the 39 year old man then assaulted the victim.

Police were told by a witness that a weapon was displayed to the 39 year old before the 39 year old made an assault. Police collected evidence at the scene and continue to gather information about this event.

Corpus Christi Police suggest that any person that requests assistance to a potentially violent situation should call police to provide assistance.
