Dashan Robinson, 34, was charged with aggravated assault and abuse of a care-dependent person this week after an investigation by the Middletown Township Police Department.

Officers responded at approximately 5:52 p.m. last Friday to a residence on Red Ridge Road in the Levittown section of Middletown Township after receiving a report of an assault. Dispatchers advised responding officers that a staff member had struck a client in the face, according to court papers.

At the scene, officers made contact with the injured man, who was bleeding heavily from his mouth and had a laceration on his left cheek.

The man’s sweatshirt was “heavily blood drenched” and a large amount of blood was on his lap, police said.

While speaking with officers, the wounded man identified Robinson, his caretaker, as the person responsible for his injuries, police said.
