Updated with comments from the suspect.

A 33-year-old Detroit man has been arraigned on a felony weapons charge following a Jan. 13 assault at Bryn Mawr Apartments in Ypsilanti Township.

David Anthony Cameron is charged with one count of assault with a dangerous weapon. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Feb. 15. His bond was set at $7,500.

According to the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Department, a man walked into an office at the Bryn Mawr Lane complex at 7:30 a.m. Jan. 13 while a woman was in another room.

When the woman went into the office, the man pointed a black handgun in her face and told her to "leave my people alone," deputies said. According to a sheriff's department media summary, the man shoved her into a wall, pulled her hair and pushed her to the ground before running away.

The woman suffered injuries to her face and her head, but refused medical attention, deputies said. It's unclear what prompted the attack.

Cameron called AnnArbor.com on Monday and said the police summary did not reflect all the facts. He urged readers not to draw conclusions before the court process has a chance to run its course. "I will be vindicated," he said.
