Man Convicted Of Assaulting Victim With Liquor Bottle At Aberdeen Bus Stop

ABINGDON, MD — An Abingdon man has been convicted of assault after he hit a man in the face with a liquor bottle, causing significant injuries, according to court documents.

Alford Delone Johnson, 46, of Abingdon has been convicted of first-degree assault and second-degree assault following a two-day jury trial in the Circuit Court for Harford County.

Evidence presented at trial showed that on Nov. 7, 2025, a 31-year-old man was waiting at the bus stop on East Bel Air Avenue in Aberdeen when he was hit in the face and neck with a liquor bottle by Johnson. The incident was unprovoked, according to the man. The attack left a "significant laceration" on the man's neck, which required emergency medical treatment and sutures.

Johnson also reportedly slapped and punched a 51-year-old man who also was at the bus stop, court documents showed.

Evidence showed that Johnson had been drinking and was agitated while looking for his girlfriend prior to the assaults. At the time of the incident, witnesses could only identify the defendant as “Chi Town.”

Following an investigation by the Aberdeen Police Department, officers were able to identify “Chi Town” as Johnson and arrested him several days later in Aberdeen.

Johnson was taken to the Harford County Detention Center following his conviction where he will stay until the time of his sentencing, which has not been schedule yet.

“I am thankful that another Harford County jury helped us send the message that violence on our streets and in our communities will not be tolerated. My office remains committed to public safety in Harford County and will continue to hold offenders accountable for the crimes committed here," said State’s Attorney Alison M. Healey after the trial.
