NORWICH – Law enforcement have charged a second suspect in a possible group assault that left the victim lying in the street, permanently blinded in one eye, and with a cracked skull.
Hannah E. Bard, 25, of 74 Birdsall St. in Norwich, was charged on Friday with first-degree assault, a class B felony, after police said she and Jonathan R. Booker, who was also charged Friday, caused serious physical injuries to the victim.
According to police, the victim was attacked by a group for several minutes, even after the victim fell to the ground along Lackawanna Avenue in downtown Norwich.
Norwich Police Department Detective Sergeant Reuben Roach said a video police obtained depicted "multiple individuals assaulting a single individual."
