The man’s identity will not be released due to the nature of the incident. As of 11 a.m. Wednesday, the man remained hospitalized in stable condition.

Numerous Assaults

The Lufkin Police Department issued its latest arrest and response report on Wednesday morning. The report included incidents from Friday, January 12 through early morning on January 17.

It looks like there was quite an uptick in reports of domestic assaults and violence. No doubt, the frigid weather and recent icy conditions kept many people confined to their own homes.

Apparently, and unfortunately, some folks did not handle this well. There was even an incident where a mother and son both assaulted each other.
