MEMPHIS, Tenn. –Two months after a man was beaten with a golf club during a robbery in South Memphis, police have arrested the alleged attacker.
Shanerick Jamaal Abraham was booked in the Shelby County jail on Friday.
Onterio Williams said he was riding his bike near Richmon Avenue and Driver Street when Abraham told him he wanted his Schwinn bicycle and began beating him with the golf club.
Williams said Abraham also threatened him with a gun and took his bike, $64, and his New York Yankees ball cap.
“We fought maybe ten minutes, I’m not sure,” said Williams. “He got the golf club. I blocked the first one with my wrist, and It still hurts.”
He said Abraham also swung the golf club at his head and legs.
“After he hit me on the knee, that is when I went on down,” Williams said.
Abraham has a lengthy criminal record. Court records show, in 2016, he was convicted of robbery, and in 2012, he was charged with assault for allegedly hitting a woman on the head with the butt of a gun inside a convenience store.
