SEATTLE — Oneil George Bygrave is charged with first- and second-degree assault after prosecutors say he attacked two people with a machete at Hing Hay Park on Tuesday, Oct. 6. The two charges each include an allegation that Bygrave was armed with a machete. The injured people were identified in court documents as Bryan McGhee and James V. Perkins. McGhee suffered wounds to his back, forearm and wrist; Perkins sustained a large cut to the side of his head, prosecutors said. According to court documents, McGhee told police he was walking near or behind Bygrave when Bygrave turned and began swinging the weapon. Police said surveillance video showed Bygrave chasing McGhee. Perkins tried to intervene, and Bygrave allegedly turned toward him before pursuing McGhee again. McGhee fell after being struck in the back, and court documents allege the attack continued while he was on the ground. Officers recovered a machete, the documents say. Police also reported that Bygrave told them he had “cut the victims with a machete.” Prosecutors asked a judge to set bail at $500,000, citing concerns that Bygrave might fail to appear in court or commit another violent offense. They also sought electronic home detention if he posts bail and an order barring contact with the two victims. Prosecutors cited prior New York convictions for alcohol-related driving, assault with intent to cause physical injury, second-degree menacing and third-degree criminal mischief. They also said six Washington cases filed over roughly two and a half months remain pending; the allegations include DUI, harassment, making a false or misleading statement, obstruction and criminal mischief. Pending cases are not convictions. Bygrave told court services he had worked at Hobby Lobby until he was let go in June, according to prosecutors. The charges in the Hing Hay Park case are allegations, and Bygrave has not been convicted.
