A 50-year-old man suffered serious injuries and was rushed to the hospital. Officials say his condition is now serious, but stable. Earlier this week, the street got fully taped off, along with parts of nearby Gorge road as officers investigated. Local residents saw a big police presence that afternoon, with cordons blocking off key spots to secure the area. No other injuries were reported, but the event shook up the neighborhood. In Cordon Wednesday, March 25th, Karpusta made no plea to the charges, which also include assault causing severe injury and danger to life. The judge demanded him in custody. He will appear again within eight days as the case moves forward.
