In a brief statement issued Sunday, state police in Hazleton said David Osenbach attacked a man Thursday night on Bridge Street. The victim, 40, was rushed to a local hospital.

Osenbach, of Lehighton, was arrested Friday and jailed at the Carbon County Correctional Facility in lieu of $75,000 bail.  He is charged with aggravated assault, simple assault and harassment.

The victim's condition Sunday was not released by the state police, nor was his name.
