On Wednesday around 11:40 a.m., Ellenville police responded to a 911 call reporting a victim of an assault at an apartment on Mill Street.

Officers talked with the victim and determined that the victim was attacked by two or three people, police say.

The unnamed victim was transported to Ellenville Hospital and treated for broken bones.

Detectives from the Ulster County Sheriff's Office responded to the location as well. A preliminary investigation revealed the victim was involved in a dispute with a neighbor, officials say.

Shortly after the dispute, three men arrived at the victim's apartment, bludgeoned him with a motorcycle helmet and punched him multiple times, according to the Ulster County Sheriff's Office.

Detectives found the alleged primary suspect Wednesday afternoon at a convenience store in the Town of Wawarsing. 31-year-old Lubin C. Castano of Wawarsing was charged with assault, a felony.

He was remanded to the Ulster County Jail in lieu of $15,000 cash bail or $30,000 secured bond.
