Dhaval Amratbhai Patel, an Indian who unlawfully entered the United States, was taken into custody after being accused of assaulting someone with a baseball bat. The incident occurred during an altercation with a customer at a liquor store in Worcester, Massachusetts, where Patel was employed.
Following his initial arrest on May 16, local police charged Patel with assault and battery using a dangerous weapon.
