A West Roxbury man has been taken into custody in relation to the alleged assault that took place outside a Dedham wine store on Sunday.

The Dedham District Court issued a warrant today leading to the arrest of 22-year-old Gesner Joseph for his purported involvement in the assault incident outside Total Win on Providence Highway last Sunday evening.

As informed by Dedham Police Chief Michael J. D’Entremont to Boston 25, a group comprising 6-8 people assaulted an employee from Total Wine on Route 1 while the establishment was being closed.

An ambulance attended to the male victim for medical evaluation, but he declined to be taken to a hospital. The victim’s mobile phone was reported to be seized during the unfortunate incident, according to police.

D’Entremont mentions the possibility of the group being denied service on Saturday.

There was at least one knife showcased during the occurrence, as mentioned by D’Entremont.

Joseph is expected to face charges for 2 counts of assault and battery with a deadly weapon, assault by means of a dangerous weapon, theft from an individual, and intimidation of a witness.

Whether or not any other suspects will be charged is still uncertain.

The incident remains under investigation.
