A North Platte man has been charged with multiple felonies following an alleged assault on Thursday evening.

At around 5:32 p.m., officers with the North Platte Police Department responded to the report of an assault in the 1800 block of West 13th Street.

Officers arrived and met with a 15-year-old male and several other witnesses.

It was alleged that 19-year-old Briano Parra-Munoz had arrived at the residence and wanted to fight the teen.  Police say Parra-Munoz was apparently upset with the boy over a female.

According to the victim and witnesses, Parra-Munoz assaulted the boy with a knife, then fled the scene in a vehicle with a female juvenile passenger.

Police obtained a description of the vehicle Parra-Munoz was driving and, a short time later, located it in the 700 block of West 10th Street.

Officers say, based on witness statements and evidence collected at the scene, probable cause existed to place Parra-Munoz under arrest.

He was transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center and jailed on charges of felony 2nd-degree assault, felony terroristic threats, use of a weapon to commit a felony and child abuse.

The female passenger in Parra-Munoz’ car was interviewed by police and the victim was transported to Great Plains Health by his mother, where he received treatment for non-life threatening injuries.

Police say the car Parra-Munoz was driving was towed, and a warrant will be requested to search it.

The knife used in the alleged attack has not yet been recovered.
