SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Scottsdale police have identified the two suspects who are suspected of violently assaulting a man at a hotel Sunday night near Marshall Way and Goldwater Boulevard.
Andre Woods, 48, and Justin B. Walowitz, 41, are suspected of assaulting a 36-year-old man and holding a knife to his throat, according to Scottsdale police.
Once officers arrived at the hotel, Walowitz was quickly detained and Woods allegedly barricaded himself inside a room. Police spent the next two hours trying to make contact with Woods and evacuating nearby hotel rooms.
Woods eventually surrendered peacefully at about 11:30 p.m. to the SWAT team. Both suspects have been booked into jail and are facing assault and kidnapping charges.
Police said their motive for attacking the man is not yet known. The victim's injuries are considered non-life-threatening.
