Woman 'brutally beaten' by acquaintance in Gainesville

A 51-year-old man is charged with aggravated assault in connection with the beating of a female acquaintance in Gainesville Friday afternoon, police said.
 
The incident happened at roughly 5 p.m. Friday afternoon at 998 Industrial Boulevard, according to Gainesville Police Sgt. Kevin Holbrook.
 
"The victim...had been brutally beaten with a crowbar and with a closed fist," Holbrook wrote in a media release.  "She was struck in her head, face and torso numerous times."
 
According to police, the investigation revealed that the 54-year-old victim had been with Thomas Nicely when he became aggressive and confronted her.  
 
He was arrested a short time later according to Holbrook.
 
Police didn't have the victim's condition Monday, but Holbrook said she was conscious and alert at the time the officer took the report.  She was transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center for treatment.
 
It appears the attack was over a sexual relationship, according to Holbrook.
