Brandon police arrested a 51-year-old man after an employee was assaulted in a downtown shelter on Wednesday evening.
At about 9 p.m., an intoxicated man went to the shelter on the 800 block of Pacific Avenue. He had previously been banned from the location.
The man got upset and started to swear and threaten a worker, before punching the worker in the arm, Brandon police said in a news release. The man then tried to push past the worker and a security guard, the release said.
Police went to the scene and arrested the accused. He was held in a detention cell until he could go to court Thursday morning.
He faces two assault charges and one count of uttering threats.
