Two Brookfield residents were charged with aggravated assault and unlawful use of a weapon after an altercation in the 3900 block of Sunnyside Avenue just after 3 p.m. on Aug. 4.
According to the police report, the victims said that they were doing work at a house on that block when a man later identified as Daniel J. Stewart, 23, drove by at a high rate of speed, nearly striking one of the men.
The workman yelled at Stewart, who allegedly got out of his vehicle and exchanged words with the man. When the man’s brother intervened and told Stewart to leave him alone, Stewart left the scene.
Later, Stewart allegedly came back with a sword tucked in his shirt and accompanied by Joseph G. Marcinkiewic, 20, who was reportedly carrying a pair of nunchaku sticks. After police arrived, Stewart reportedly said the weapons were a ploy to scare the victims and that they never intended to use them.
Both were charged by Brookfield police and await a Sept. 27 court date.

Atlas, 21, with battery after he allegedly grabbed another man by the neck, choked him, slammed his head into a car and then punched him in the face several times just after 1 a.m. in the 9100 block of Lincoln Avenue. The victim reported to police that he and a friend
were sitting in a parked car when Atlas opened the car door and attacked him. Later that morning in the same block, Brookfield police apprehended Atlas, who reportedly denied having been involved in the incident.
