Samuel Carlson, 25, was charged with first degree assault on Monday for his role in an April 17 fight near campus, court documents show.

According to the Lane County Circuit Court information document, Carlson “unlawfully and intentionally caused serious physical injury by means of a dangerous weapon.”

Samuel Carlson was booked in Lane County Jail for DUII on Nov. 10. He has since been charged with first degree assault.

The April incident involved a victim being sent to the hospital after his arm was cut with a hatchet during an off-campus fight on 16th Alley, the Emerald reported. At the time, the University of Oregon sent a mass text message to students warning them to stay away from the area.

According to witnesses at the scene, the victim was a bystander who tried to break up the fight. His arm was cut with the hatchet as he intervened.

Carlson has been charged in two other assault cases since the April incident and was charged with DUII on Nov. 10. He is currently being held at Lane County Jail.
