SEDGWICK COUNTY —A man accused in a knife attack robbery is no longer in custody, according to online jail records.
Just after 11 p.m. June 7, police were dispatched to a welfare check in the 1100 block of N. Emporia in Wichita, according to Officer Juan Rebolledo.
There were also reports of a man screaming for help. Officers located a 49-year-old victim on the ground bloodied from cuts to his upper torso area.
The investigation revealed that the victim had been battered by multiple suspects and 30-year-old Evans Ohajewke of Wichita was one of them. The victim would report that Ohajewke was armed with a knife and had cut him while stealing his shoes.
The victim was transported to a local area hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. Officers searched the surrounding area and found Ohajewke hiding behind a tree.
Officers utilized their time and distance to call out Ohajewke from behind the tree. He would eventually comply, and was arrested without incident and booked on requested charges of aggravated robbery.
