On Friday, March 26, Ferndale Police were called to Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak after a male victim reported being beaten, robbed and held against his will beginning Thursday night at his Ferndale home.
The victim reportedly met the main assailant through a dating service on March 12.
According to police, the suspect came to the man's home, said he needed to get something and returned with another male suspect, a hammer and a handgun. The victim said the men beat him with the hammer, took his ATM card and left to withdraw money from a local gas station. When they didn't get enough money, they continued to beat him, stole his belongings and tied him to a chair. The assailants then left.
The victim eventually escaped and made it to the hospital around 1 p.m. Friday afternoon.
Ferndale Police worked with U.S. Marshals and the Narcotics Enforcement Team and arrested one of the suspects at 4:30 a.m. Saturday. The gun, hammer and the victim's property were recovered, and police say that the man will make a full recovery.
