A Jersey City drug dealer was arrested early Saturday on charges he assaulted, robbed and pistol-whipped a man in Greenville Friday night, officials said.

Charles Burrell, 36, of Ocean Avenue, was arrested at 3:53 a.m. at Forrest Street and Ocean Avenue and charged with aggravated assault, robbery, drug possession with intent to distribute, and weapons offenses including possession of a firearm by a felon, reports said.

On Friday at 9:30 p.m., police responded to Ocean and Myrtle avenues, where the 56-year-old victim told them a group of men had pulled him out of his car and began punching and kicking him, reports said.

The Summit Avenue man said Burrell was among the men and that Burrell pistol-whipped him with a revolver during the assault, reports said.

The victim said Burrell took his Bluetooth device and his BlackBerry before the group fled, reports said, adding that the Summit Avenue man was taken to the Jersey City Medical Center for treatments to cuts to his face and head.
