A woman there said she and the victim, a 31-year-old man, were traveling north on McFarland when another man jumped out of a nearby car and attacked her companion with a hatchet or tomahawk.
The victim was struck in the head and is being treated for injuries that Taylor called serious but said they do not appear to be life-threatening.
Taylor said the suspect and the victim have been involved in an ongoing dispute. Officers are aware of the alleged assailant's identity but were still working to locate him at 9 p.m. Friday.
