A Greeneville man reported to the Greene County Sheriff’s Department that he was assaulted by a motorcyclist in an incident Saturday evening.
The victim said he while he was merging onto East Andrew Johnson Highway from Tusculum Boulevard, he noticed motorcycles and sped up to get in front of them. The motorcyclists came up beside him and were reportedly telling him to pull over. He said the motorcyclists then got in front of him and started to break check him.
The victim got onto Erwin Highway to get away from them and headed toward the Tusculum Police Department for help. Once he got there, the motorcycles were no longer behind him. The victim then pulled out of the police department and went to park behind Creamy Cup while on the phone with 911.
While the victim was parked behind Creamy Cup, he noticed the motorcycles in the distance. The motorcyclists then parked beside Creamy Cup, came up to his truck, and confronted him. One of the riders allegedly punched him in the face multiple times.
The victim said he crawled through the passenger side of his truck and ran up a hill away from the bikers. The motorcyclists then left at that time. The report stated the victim had multiple lacerations to the face. He was checked out by EMS, but refused to go with them.
The motorcycle tag numbers were obtained and deputies made contact with Creamy Cup to get video footage of the incident.
