A Texas man was arrested this week after allegedly brandishing a BB gun and hitting two people – including a 10-year-old girl – with a hammer, according to a report.
Brayan Mejia Hernandez, 31, arrived at a Dallas home around 1:40 a.m. and pointed what looked like a black handgun at a man whom he accused of “attempting to have relations” with the mother of his son, an arrest warrant affidavit said.
Mejia then hit the man’s arm and leg with a hammer, according to the affidavit. He also hit a 10-year-old girl in the forehead, the Dallas Morning News reported, citing police. The girl was reportedly treated at the scene for her injuries. Neither her medical condition nor her relationship to Mejia were immediately clear.
