A man sustained serious injuries after he was assaulted at the Western Truck Stop in Hershey.

Deputies with the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office responded to the truck stop at around 1:15 p.m. Saturday, after they received a report that a man had been assaulted.

Authorities say it appears the victim lit a cigarette in the restroom, when he was approached by 46-year-old Martin Davidson of Cheyenne, Wyoming, who asked him to put out the cigarette.

Deputies say at this time, the two began arguing and Davidson allegedly punched the man then kicked him when he was on the ground.

The man suffered injuries to his face and torso and was airlifted to a hospital in Denver.

Davidson was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center on a charge of 1st Degree Assault.
