According to reports, Smith approached his victim and started hitting him, knocking him to the ground. Smith allegedly continued attacking the man even after he had fallen to the ground.
Smith fled the scene but was captured by police who have stepped up patrols in response to prior violence at the park.
There is no information as to a motive for the assault. Smith is being held for battery, vandalism, and public intoxication.
Smith’s court date for the death of Robert and Linda Mathis is scheduled for next May.
