A man from Council Bluffs was arrested early this (Wednesday) morning, following an alleged assault. According to Bluffs Police, 24-year old Joseph Broich was taken into custody at around 4-a.m., and charged with Serious Assault.

He was arrested after authorities were alerted to the possible assault of a 17-year old male at 1961 Parkwild Drive. Officers located the victim at a separate address and confirmed the incident had taken place. When they went to arrest Broich, the man allegedly became combative. Officers used a Taser to subdue Broich before taking him into custody.

All of the parties involved in the incident were treated by Council Bluffs Fire and Rescue medics, but refused further medical attention.
