La Marque EMS responded to the scene and transported the victim to a nearby hospital for treatment.

An investigation led officers to identify 54-year-old Shannon Bray as the suspect. Officers later found Bray at a home in the 500 block of Elmo Street, where he was taken into custody.

The Galveston County District Attorney’s Office accepted charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a second-degree felony. Bray’s bond was set at $150,000.

The condition of the victim has not been released.
