The NOPD has arrested Charles Goudeau (DOB: 07-10-1984) in connection with an aggravated assault that occurred on August 13, 2017 in the 14200 block of Chef Menteur Highway.

At about 5:34 p.m., Goudeau allegedly was in an argument with the mother of his 6-day old child when Goudeau allegedly punched the female victim in the head and neck. The victim’s brother reportedly witnessed the incident and attempted to intervene on the victim’s behalf, at which time Goudeau allegedly punched him several times to the head and grabbed him by the neck.

During the struggle, Goudeau reportedly produced a switchblade knife from his pocket and attempted to stab the male victim. At that time, the victim’s parents came upon the altercation and were able to restrain Goudeau until Seventh District officers arrived.
