Man allegedly leaves trail of punched people
Reports of three separate assaults led to one arrest Saturday night.
According to Town of Tonawanda police reports, Gennaro T. Severino entered a store seeking a refund for some items. When the clerk refused, Severino allegedly punched the person repeatedly. When a coworker tried to call the police, that person was punched as well.
An advisory had gone out to police in the area when another call came in to Kenmore police. A woman said she had been walking down the street when Severino bumped into her. When the woman said she didn’t appreciate being pushed, police reports say Severino said, “You want something?” and punched the woman in her mouth. When police arrived, her mouth was swollen and bleeding.
Shortly after, Kenmore police took Severino into custody and he was identified by two witnesses as the man who had assaulted them. Severino was held for court.
