Delaware State Police have arrested 19-year-old Christian Broaddus of New Castle, Delaware, and 20-year-old Khanasia Nash of Wilmington, Delaware for multiple offenses stemming from an attack on a Food Lion employee that occurred last month in New Castle.
On June 20, 2025, at approximately 1:31 p.m., troopers responded to Food Lion, located at 1200 Beaverbrook Plaza, New Castle, for a report of an assault involving multiple suspects. In the ensuing investigation, troopers learned that the 18-year-old victim was working at the register when he was approached by 8 unknown suspects and attacked. The victim was kicked and punched by 6 of the suspects, while one of the suspects stood next to the group with a baby in her arms, and another suspect appeared to be filming the attack. During the assault, the victim fell to the ground, and lost consciousness as the suspects continued to kick and punch him.
