The Gaffney Police Department would like to address and clarify information circulating on social media regarding a recent assault that occurred within the City of Gaffney.
On Sunday, May 10, 2026, at approximately 11:32 AM, Officers with the Gaffney Police Department were dispatched to the parking lot of the Cherokee County Administration Building, located at 110 Railroad Avenue in Gaffney, South Carolina, in reference to an assault that had occurred. Officers were dispatched at approximately 11:34 AM and arrived on scene at approximately 11:40 AM.
During the investigation, Officers reviewed surveillance footage from the area. The footage shows the female victim placing her children into a stroller when a black male suspect is observed waving his arm toward the female. The suspect then pulls an object from underneath his shirt and approaches the victim. The suspect can be seen placing his hand on the stroller, which contained the victim’s child.
Surveillance footage then shows the suspect repeatedly striking the female victim with a weapon while the victim can be heard screaming loudly. The suspect then fled the scene on foot.
Officers and Detectives have been, and continue to be, actively investigating this incident and have made significant advancements in the case.
The Gaffney Police Department would also like to address a photograph that has been circulating on Facebook claiming to identify the suspect involved in this incident. At this time, the Gaffney Police Department has not publicly released any suspect information and does not plan to do so until the suspect is in custody.
The Department can confirm that the individual pictured in the circulating social media post has been identified as Andre Logan, who had an active warrant through South Carolina Probation, Parole and Pardon Services and has since been arrested on that outstanding warrant. At this time, no additional information will be released regarding his possible involvement in this investigation.
This incident appears to have been isolated in nature. A public statement was not immediately released because investigators had developed several credible leads and there was no ongoing threat to the community. The Gaffney Police Department routinely releases information through our page and local media outlets when assistance from the public is needed or when there is an ongoing threat to public safety.
We are releasing this statement at this time due to the amount of misinformation currently being spread online. We would like to remind the public that sharing false or unverified information can negatively impact active investigations and potentially hinder law enforcement efforts.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact the Gaffney Police Department.
