Around 9:45 on Wednesday night the Marshalltown Police Department responded to a call at the Unity Point Hospital about an intoxicated man causing a disturbance and assaulting someone in the emergency department. When Police arrived, they attempted to arrest the man, and he became violent.
That is Marshalltown Police Chief Mike Tupper, one thing he says over and over is that he was thankful no one was seriously injured.
The suspect, 50-year-old, Eric David Bru, was eventually arrested and taken to the Marshall County Jail. Bru was charged with multiple crimes including OWI 1st Offense, Attempting to Disarm a Peace Officer, and Assault on a Peace Officer.
