Police Arrest Poningo Street Man for Assault

The Port Chester police arrested 36-year-old Luis Mora, of Port Chester, for third degree assault, a misdemeanor on Aug. 25 at 8 p.m.

Mora allegedly attacked a 23-year-old acquaintance at his home on Bush Avenue earlier that evening over a dispute about money, police said.

“He started punching him, repeatedly knocking him to the ground and kicking him several times in the back while on the ground,” Lt. James Ladeairous read from the police report.

Mora ran away when the victim’s wife called 911, police said. The victim then took police over to Mora’s house, where he came to the door with blood on his shorts and was arrested.

EMS transported the victim to Greenwich hospital for treatment of bumps on his head, a bloody nose and a deep laceration inside his upper lip.
