FARGO (KFGO) – A Fargo man is jailed on charges of robbery and aggravated assault after a victim claims he tried to “rip his face off.”
According to court records, officers were called to the 700 block of Main Avenue Sunday around 5 a.m. for an assault in progress.
An officer says he found the victim in the street, bleeding from his nose and mouth.
The victim says a man asked him for a layer to cover up, and when he refused, the man assaulted him. The victim says the suspect had a chain wrapped around his fist and was digging into the victim’s face, mouth, and eyes. The victim says the suspect tried to rip his face off before stealing his cane and leaving.
Officers identified Ahmed Hassan as the suspect. They say when they found him, Hassan had the victim’s cane.
Hassan claimed self-defense and had a small cut above his eye, but “was nowhere near as bad of a condition” as the victim. Witnesses also backed the victim’s claim.
Hassan is in the Cass County jail.
