Iowa City Police have arrested a Coralville man they say was involved in the beating another man on New Year’s Eve.
According to arrest records, the victim left his residence on Walker Circle at 11:45pm on December 31st to meet a friend for a cigarette. That’s when 20-year-old Dominic Gioimo of 9th Street and another man allegedly emerged from hiding and attacked him. The victim suffered injuries that required a visit to the hospital.
A witness came outside and saw the end of the incident while the victim was on the ground. He and the victim both identified Gioimo as one of the attackers.
Police say Gioimo and his alleged victim were friends at one time who had a recent falling out.
Gioimo was booked into the Johnson County Jail just before 8:15 Friday night and charged with Assault Causing Bodily Injury. If convicted, he faces a maximum of one year in jail.
