A man was arrested Wednesday, nearly a month after police say he fired a weapon in an attempt to break up a fight between two women, but instead wounded three others.

Michael Okeef Royal, 34, is in the Mobile Metro Jail, charged with three counts of 1st-degree assault. He is also facing revocation of his probation from three previous convictions, according to the jail docket.

Shortly before 7 p.m. on May 2, police were summoned to University Hospital on a report of two women with gunshot wounds. By the time officers got there, a third victim who had been grazed by a bullet in the same incident had arrived via personal vehicle.

Police learned there had been an altercation between two females in the 1000 block of Griffin Circle. In an attempt to break up the fight, man — later identified as Royal — fired his weapon, with the three victims being inadvertently struck by gunfire.

The women who were wounded were not involved in the original altercation. All three were treated for what police described as non-life-threatening injuries.
