At around 2:15pm on Monday, police say the victim was met by a man squared off in a fighter's stance. Police say he was struck in the back of the head by another man with a tire iron and then beaten by both suspects.
The suspects jumped into a vehicle and fled the scene after a witness yelled at them and called 911.
The victim was treated at hospital and later released.
A 25-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday in connection with the incident, and is charged with aggravated assault, assault causing bodily harm, assault with a weapon, three counts of breach of probation, possession of a controlled substance, and several other weapons offences.
