CROWN HEIGHTS — A 22-year-old man threatened another young man at a house party and then used a flashlight to beat him and two of his friends when they followed him across the neighborhood.

Ibna Pasha, 22, was at a party at 49 Crown St. near Franklin Avenue on Oct. 4, when he got into a fight with the 23-year-old victim at roughly 4 a.m., police said.

As the fight escalated, Pasha pulled a gun on the 23-year-old, then fled the party in a blue and red Ford Explorer SUV, headed to 514 Crown St. near Kingston Avenue.

The victim and two of his friends followed Pasha, confronting him outside of the Crown Heights home. That's when Pasha attacked the group with a flashlight, hitting the men in the head with it multiple times, police said.

Pasha was charged with assault, harassment and menacing among other charges, court documents show. He has been released on $250 cash bail.

His lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
