Police were called to his apartment in the 2000 block of Pauline Boulevard at 10:16 p.m. Saturday for the fight. A 28-year-old man, with whom Fabean had been living for two years, told police Fabean attacked him with the metal object for unknown reasons.
“The victim said it was unprovoked," Bush said. "He took quite a beating."
Fabean is accused of striking the 28-year-old numerous times on the head, neck, back and forearms, Bush said. Police would not specify what the metal object was.
The 28-year-old suffered multiple injuries and was taken to University of Michigan Hospital. It was unknown Monday morning if he had been released.
Police said Fabean was intoxicated when arrested. The police report did not indicate if the 28-year-old had also been drinking, Bush said.
A preliminary examination for Fabean was set for April 25.

It's hard to tell by the picture alone if that guy's the perp or the victim, you know?

" told police Fabean attacked him with the metal object for unknown reasons." I stop caring about your side of the story when you blatantly lie...

Do you know what happened or how? Have you never heard of someone waking up in the middle of the night because some drunken roommate is beating on them? I am not saying that is what happened, but over the years I certainly have read numerous news reports of things like this. But its easier I guess to just assume someone is lying. Why don't we let the police investigate. They have to care about what happened, its their job.

There was so much alcohol involved neither of them knew what the object was? Or is AAPD refusing to name it due to privacy concerns?

maybe they should have a poll with several metal objects as choices and we can all vote on what metal object we think it was.
