According to the police criminal complaint, officers were initially called to the Heinz Lofts apartments around 4:15 a.m. for a domestic disturbance call.
A witness told police the incident started when Briston and Pryor got into an argument in the hallway outside their apartment. It escalated, and once inside, police said Pryor knocked that witness to the floor.
Pryor then allegedly grabbed Briston and “began to tussle with her.” Police said it continued into the kitchen, and as witnesses were trying to break it up, Pryor backed away and grabbed his chest. He then ran out of the apartment while bleeding noticeably, according to police.
In court Thursday, the attempted homicide charge against Briston was dropped.
Pryor was charged with simple assault following the incident. He spent several days recovering in the hospital.
