A Riverdale

man and a Hampton teen have been arrested for assaulting two people in

the parking lot of the Burger King in Fayetteville late Thursday evening.

It was the

third incident in two months that has drawn police to the restaurant.

Two armed robberies were reported at the store near its closing time over

the past two months.

According to

arrest warrants in this latest incident, Guy Aundrey Gladden of Riverdale

attempted to stab or cut two people with a knife during the altercation

just after 10:40 p.m. Neither of the victims was hurt after the incident,

which occurred while the parties involved were "hanging out"

in the parking lot, according to Fayetteville Police Lt. Beverly Trainor.

The incident

began as a verbal dispute when one person overheard a derogatory remark

made by the other, Trainor said.

Gladden was

arrested for two counts of aggravated assault and two counts of possession

of a firearm or knife during the commission of a crime. A 16-year-old

juvenile was also arrested on the scene and charged with simple battery

for his role in the incident, Trainor said.

The juvenile

was released to his father's custody later, she added. That case will

be disposed of in Fayette County Juvenile Court, she said.
