City police said they responded to a call of a loud dispute on South Bellevue Avenue for the second time at 7:55 p.m. Tuesday.
They found the victim with a head injury that he told them he sustained when two men assaulted him.
Police said they recognized the pair -- Shawn Harris, 37, and Khalil Swain, 29 -- from an earlier call.
They arrested both on charges of assault, conspiracy and various weapons offenses, they said.
Harris was released last Oct. 1 after serving five years in state prison for weapons possession, records show.
Swain also was charged on a contempt of a court warrant. Both were sent to Atlantic County Justice Facility.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Atlantic City Criminal Investigations Section at 609-347-5766 or anonymously text to tip411 (847411). Begin the text with ACPD.
