Wilmington- The Delaware State Police have arrested one man and are searching for another following the assault of a 66 year old Wilmington resident on Monday.

The incident occurred at approximately 8:25 p.m. on Monday, June 13, as two male subjects approached a 66 year old male who was sitting on his porch at a residence in the 800 block of N. DuPont Road, Wilmington. The victim advised investigating troopers that the subjects stated to him that they had just been overcharged at the Charles Liquors, also located in the 800 block of N. DuPont Road, and that they were mad. One of the subjects, later identified as Freddie Moore, punched the victim in the face and then pushed him over the porch railing to the ground below, a distance of three feet. Both subjects then fled on foot toward the Mill Creek Apartments. The victim was transported from the scene by EMS to the Christiana Hospital where he was treated and admitted for his injuries.

During the subsequent investigation troopers learned that the defendant, Freddie Moore, was a frequent customer of Charles Liquors and subsequently were then able to obtain a positive identification of him. It was also learned that the victim had no affiliation with Charles Liquors.

Troopers arrested Freddie Moore yesterday afternoon without incident. He was charged with the above list of crimes and arraigned at JP Court 11. Moore was then released after posting $27,000.oo cash bail. Troopers are still searching for the second suspect described above.

Anyone who may know the identity of the second suspect involved in this incident is asked to contact Troop 6 at 302-633-5000 ext. 0.
