Chief Deputy Scott Hall of the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office said this evening the brothers allegedly struck the victim about the head with a sharp object.
Hall said in a statement deputies responded to Halifax Regional after a call about two victims being stabbed.
Detective Matt Brown said both brothers sustained injuries from allegedly striking the victim.
The brothers allegedly reported a man pulled a knife on them and assaulted them both.
Investigation revealed the opposite, Hall said in a statement.
Brown said the victim was the father of a teen the brothers have been feuding with.
They were charged with simple assault, filing a false police report and second-degree trespassing.
They received $2,000 secured bonds and January 10 court dates.
