A man told police he was riding his bicycle near the Brockton Fairgrounds at around 8 a.m. when he was attacked.
Police said Michael Baker was likely trying to rob the victim's bicycle after stealing some food from the fairgrounds.
"He noticed that the suspect had a 10-gallon trash barrel full of frozen sausage, bread, and a block of cut cheese and a case of hot dogs," said Brockton Police Lt. Paul Bonanca.
Baker allegedly swung frozen sausage links at the victim and beat him with a wrench.
"Apparently he tried to hit him with those items, along with hitting him with a wrench in order to take his bike," said Lt. Bonanca.
The victim suffered what police described as "multiple lacerations" from the attack and was taken to Brockton Hospital for treatment.
