Police say the suspect, identified as Jonathan Andrew Gregory, walked into a homeless camp near the 1200 block of North Main and started arguing with people there. The suspect was reportedly asked to leave the area, and that’s when he struck a woman with a machete and then attacked a man who came to defend her. The victims reportedly had severe lacerations to their arms and hands.

Gregory, 41, is facing charges that include two counts of assault with intent to murder and two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon.

He was taken into custody around 6:15 p.m. and police said there were several tips called in.

The victims were transported to a local hospital for treatment.
