A GW employee was arrested last week in Eckles Library for assaulting another employee, a University spokeswoman confirmed Thursday.

University spokeswoman Maralee Csellar said in an email that one employee reported minor injuries after another employee hit him “with a piece of equipment.”

“No guns or other weapons were involved,” she said.

The two employees were in a “verbal altercation” before one of them “picked up a silver metal object and began to strike” the other man in the head and face, causing “lacerations and bruises,” according to an arrest document from the Metropolitan Police Department.

The employee who was assaulted is not named in the documents, but the report states that he is 36 years old, male and a resident of northwest D.C. He was transported to Georgetown University Hospital for treatment, according to the document.
