Scott Walker of Kittanning, charged in ambush beating of man in Parker Township.

PARKER TWP — Accused of an ambush beating that left another man hospitalized with serious facial injuries, an Armstrong County man is jailed on six-figure bail.

State police arrested Scott F. Walker, 42, of Kittanning on felony assault and other charges in the Sunday attack possibly motivated by jealousy, investigators said.

The 35-year-old victim was eventually taken to the hospital, authorities said, with facial fractures and head injuries. His condition was not known Tuesday.

Police began investigating the case about 10 p.m. Sunday after the victim's mother called 911 to report her son was assaulted at his home.

Troopers described seeing a bloody crime scene at the house, including a “large pool of blood” on the rear deck, according to court documents.

Police spoke to the victim, documents said, who admitted that he had not seen his attacker. But he gave troopers the name of a suspect — Walker.

The victim told police that Walker had threatened him earlier that day.

“(The victim) related he was dating (a woman),” according to a police affidavit, “who was the recent ex of Walker.”

Troopers on Monday interviewed Walker at the Kittanning station. Police said he admitted to assaulting the victim.
