ATLANTA – Police are investigating an assault during which a Good Samaritan was punched in the face.
Police said 56-year-old Ronnie Belt heard a disturbance New Year’s Day and came to the aid of a 32-year-old Smyrna woman as she was being assaulted outside her apartment.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Monday that police said the woman had been pushed against a wall and then to the ground by 26-year-old Rosalio Garcia and 30-year-old Alvaro Garcia as her 10-year-old child watched.
Police say the attackers and the woman’s husband punched Belt in the face when he intervened.
Both Garcias were charged with battery, simple battery, third-degree child cruelty and public intoxication. The woman’s 40-year-old husband was charged with battery and public intoxication.
