Rochester, MN (KROC-AM News) - A Rochester man was arrested Sunday evening after he allegedly attacked another man with a tire iron during a dispute involving parking.

Police Sergeant Tony Teal says officers responded to the 1900 block of Second Avenue Southeast just before 9 PM and met a 45-year-old man who had injuries on his arm from being struck by a tire iron. He told the officers he was assaulted when he confronted a man about parking his vehicle in front of his home and partially blocking his driveway.

The suspect was located at his home around the corner from the victim's residence in the 100 block of 20th Street Southeast. Sergeant Teal says 35-year-old Sean Marshall denied he had been involved in a confrontation and denied assaulting the man, but he was arrested on suspicion of second-degree assault.

The victim, who had swelling and bleeding on his injured armed, was treated at the scene.
