At approximately 1AM on Sunday, deputies from the Greene County Sheriff’s Department responded to a residence in the 900 block of Walnut Street in Greenfield to investigate a complaint from a male subject who had been attacked by another man with a hatchet.
The victim reported to deputies at a residence in the 800 block of College Street in Greenfield, when he and another male subject of that vicinity got into an argument that ultimately turned into a physical altercation.
