Ryan Sankar Narain {BSO}
Coconut Creek police arrested a man suspected of brandishing a machete during a heated dispute over construction at a residential complex, according to an arrest report.
According to a Coconut Creek Police Department arrest report, Ryan Sankar Narain, 38, was taken into custody on March 6 at his home near the 4700 block of Northwest 22nd Street and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
According to police, officers responded to the residence after receiving reports of a man attempting to attack people with a machete. Investigators said the incident began as a verbal dispute between Narain and another man over construction work near a parking lot at the complex.
During the argument, police say Narain went inside his residence and later returned holding a machete. The victim told officers Narain removed the machete from its sheath and raised it while shouting, “What are you going to do?”
Records show Narain acknowledged the argument but denied having a machete. Narain told officers he felt scared during the altercation and claimed he was “standing his ground.”
Officers later recovered a machete matching the victim’s description from inside Narain’s home, where it was wedged between a mattress and box spring in a bedroom.
Narain was transported by Coconut Creek Fire Rescue to Northwest Medical Center for medical clearance before being transferred to the Broward County Jail.
