A Bellefonte man was arrested last night following an assault at about 8:30 p.m. yesterday on the 100 block of West College Avenue, State College Police said.

Michael Gingrich, 25, of Bellefonte was arrested following an assault in which he allegedly punched an unidentified male until he fell to the ground and kicked him in the head, State College Police Sgt. Keith Robb said.

The victim suffered a head laceration and was transported to Mount Nittany Medical Center for treatment, Robb said. The severity of the injury was not immediately known, Robb said, and police did not identify the victim.

Robb said Gingrich would be arraigned before District Justice Daniel Hoffman later that night. Gingrich will be charged with aggravated assault, simple assault and harassment, Robb said.

The incident appeared to be alcohol related, Robb said.
