A man in Englewood, Florida, is facing assault charges after allegedly choking a physician's assistant with a stethoscope.

Officials said John Connelly, 52, entered the Sarasota Family Medical Walk-In Clinic yesterday in hopes of upgrading a prescription for pain medication, according to TBO.com.

A doctor reportedly wasn't available and the on-duty physician's assistant couldn't alter the prescription. At that point, the suspect allegedly started yelling profanities and was asked to leave, MySuncoast.com reports.

Connelly did leave, but came back a short time later to find the physician's assistant. Then he allegedly grabbed the assistant's stethoscope and used it to choke the man, ABC Action News reports.

A witness managed to pull Connelly off the P.A., who suffered bruising and marks on his neck, Sarasota Patch reports.

Connelly was arrested and charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. He is currently being held without bond, according to MyFoxTampaBay.
