The Prince George's County Sheriff's Office Warrant/Fugitive Division arrested George Williams, of Laurel, for first degree assault after a November attack at Williams' workplace in the 4900 block of Holabird Ave. of Baltimore.
According to the Sheriff's Office, Williams was arrested on an arrest warrant that was issued by the Baltimore City Police Department on Nov. 21. The warrant states that Williams argued with a coworker on that day before hitting the coworker with a hammer several times, including on the victim's head.

The victim was treated for wounds to his head and hands at a nearby hospital.
On Dec. 9, warrant deputies took Williams into custody at a residence on South Laurel Drive. He was taken to the Prince George's County Department of Corrections in Hyattsville.
Williams is also charged with second degree assault and use of a dangerous weapon with intent to injure.
