James W. Mustain, 18, of 217 N. Elm St., was charged Thursday with assault.
Around 11:40 p.m., he allegedly attacked Joseph Robinson, of West Mansfield, in the parking lot of First Lutheran Church, 208 W. Sandusky Ave.
The victim sustained facial injuries and scrapes to his right knee and left elbow.
The suspect was found at Mary Rutan Hospital where he was being treated for scrapes on both knees and a small laceration on the back of his head.
He claimed he fought back only after he was attacked by the 19-year-old victim.
Multiple witnesses supported Mr. Robinson’s version of the incident, so officers of the Bellefontaine Police Department charged the suspect.
