On Friday September 2, 2022 at approximately 7 p.m. Officer Brandon Antone responded to the New World Gas
Station, located at 340 Milliken Blvd. for a report that an elderly couple had been assaulted.

Upon arrival, he was approached by a 68-year-old Fall River woman who stated she and her husband had been
assaulted while at the gas station. 

She explained that when they arrived at the gas station, her husband, 66-year-old
