A Riverside man was arrested on assault, menacing and weapon charges after attacking another man with a machete on Pine Street in Riverside, Southampton Town Police said in a press release Saturday.
Police responded to a 911 call reporting a machete assault underway at 40A Pine Street in Riverside Friday shortly after 3 p.m.
Responding officers found a 24-year-old man covered in blood from a head wound, according to the police report. The injured man was treated at the scene by police and Flanders Northampton Volunteer Ambulance Corps, and transported by ambulance to Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead.
The man with the machete barricaded himself inside the residence at 40A Pine St., police said. Hostage negotiators from the Southampton Town Police Department Emergency Service Unit and New York State Police responded to the scene.
