Saturday morning update ⚠️ The potential for strong to severe storms tonight into early tomorrow (Sunday) morning is increasing. What changed?

A 62-year-old man is currently in the Bartow County Jail after allegedly committing a violent attack and leading law enforcement on a chase in the Acworth area on Monday night.

The victim reported that he stepped outside a residence on Lynn Circle near Acworth and briefly sat on the porch when he suddenly felt a hand wrap around his throat with great force. He recognized the attacker as Bruce Edwin Smith, a former co-worker who supposedly blamed him for his previous incarceration and intended to kill him. The victim claimed that Smith punched him, knocked him to the ground, mounted him, and continued to hit him in the face and head while choking him.

To defend himself, the victim found a pair of bolt cutters. However, Smith reportedly took the cutters away and continued the assault. After some time, Smith allegedly stopped, went into the house, grabbed a beer from the refrigerator, and sat on the porch, drinking it while the victim lay on the ground. Smith then left the scene.
