UPDATED: New York Man Flown to Shock Trauma With Head Injury

UPDATED (8:00 a.m.)—A New York man was flown to Maryland Shock Trauma late Wednesday after sustaining a head injury during an altercation in Perryman, according to the Harford County Sheriff’s Office.

Patrick Pollard, 31, of Ozone Park, NY, was in stable condition as of 1:30 a.m. Thursday, Harford County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Monica Worrell said.

Police originally believed Pollard was shot in the head, but Thursday at about 3:30 a.m. Worrell said police now believe he was "pistol whipped" in the head.

The incident occurred in the 200 block of Mayberry Drive around 10:50 p.m. Wednesday.

The investigation is ongoing. Police urge anyone with information to contact Cpl. Keith Roach of the Harford Criminal Investigations division at 410-836-5436. Those with information may remain anonymous, and could be eligible for a reward.

About a dozen Harford County Sheriff’s Office or unmarked police cars were on the scene in the apartment complex in the woods off Spesutia Road around midnight.

Onlookers sat in cars and neighboring yards as a medevac carrying Pollard took off from nearby Perryman Park. People on the scene told Patch they did not know what happened.

In a separate incident shortly after midnight, a man was shot in Edgewood. Daniel Beeghley, 24, of Topview Driive in Edgewood suffered a gunshot in the upper leg. He was treated at Bayview Medical Center and released around 3 a.m.

Police believe Beeghley was shot in an attempted robbery in the area of Swallow Crest and Eloise Lane. They describe the suspects as two males, both approximately 5-foot-8 with "a slight build." They were wearing dark shirts, black bandanas and ankle-length denim shorts. Anyone with information should contact Det. Nick Petrozinno of the Harford County Sheriff's Office Criminial Investigations division at 410-836-5014.

Police do not believe the incidents are related.
