An Anchorage man was arrested Tuesday for assaulting two women and a 2-year-old child, police say, leaving them seriously injured.
The Anchorage Police Department responded to the 4000 block of Minnesota Drive just before 2 a.m. Tuesday after receiving a call regarding a disturbance at a home. First responders found two women with “severe physical injuries,” along with an unconscious 2-year-old with life-threatening injuries, according to police.
When police found the suspect — 21-year-old Alexie Kapotak Jr. — hiding in a bathroom, he resisted arrest, allegedly assaulting one of the officers.
Both women, who were identified as sisters, and the child were taken to a local hospital for treatment. According to APD spokeswoman Jennifer Castro, it appears one of the women was in a relationship with Kapotak.
Kapotak was arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree assault, two counts of second-degree assault and one count of fourth-degree assault. He is being held on a $250,000 bail. Kapotak is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday at 2:30 p.m.
An investigation into the assaults is ongoing. Alcohol is believed to be a factor.
