A Colorado Springs man was booked on several charges, including bias motivated crime, Wednesday after allegedly assaulting another man with a baseball bat.

Just before 2 p.m., officers with the Gold Hill division were dispatched to the 1000 block of south Nevada Avenue for an assault in progress involving a baseball bat.

Upon their arrival, officers learned the suspect had confronted several individuals in the area, yelling taunts and threats based on their race, according to a blotter entry Wednesday evening.

Police say the man then assaulted another male on scene with the bat before leaving the area. He was later located by officers and was apprehended after a foot pursuit.

Leonard Brown, 37, was booked at El Paso County Jail for assault in the second degree, bias motivated crime and obstructing a peace officer.
