Witnesses told police there was a verbal dispute between the two men when suddenly Lounici began to attack the victim with some instrument.
After officers determined Lounici was responsible for the victim's injuries, Lounici was taken into custody. He faces a charge of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. Attorney information was not immediately available.
Police did not say if the victim and Lounici are known to each other. The incident remains under investigation.
