A Coralville man faces charges after an alleged assault Tuesday night.
Officers responded to 2400 block of Walden Road in Iowa City around 11 pm on reports of an assault that occurred on the premises. The man told police that 18-year-old Jestin Wiseman Inman of Boston Way came to the residence to speak to him about a family member.
Wiseman Inman was asked multiple times to leave by the victim but he refused. The victim tried to push Wiseman Inman away from him, which allegedly led to Wiseman Inman physically assaulting him. He told police that Wiseman Inman punched him multiple times, causing him to fall to the ground, where the assault continued until the man’s son came to stop the assault.
Wiseman Inman fled the scene on foot, but video footage of the incident shows him assaulting the man while he screamed.
The victim, who appeared to have swelling around his eye, was taken to a hospital for evaluation. Initial diagnosis showed the man with a broken orbital bone and an abnormally-shaped pupil. The injuries sustained during the reported incident may require surgery to save the man’s vision in the eye.
Wiseman Inman was taken into custody and charged with Assault with Intent to Inflict Serious Injury and Trespass Causing Injury. If convicted on both counts, he faces a jail sentence of up to three years. A no-contact order was requested by the victim.
