Lincoln Police says a man ended up in the hospital following a fight with another man early Sunday morning. LPD officers were called to La Cabana near 32nd and Cornhusker Highway around 1:00 a.m. “When officers arrived, they found a 41-year-old Lincoln man unconscious behind the bar with a large group of people around him,” says Public Information Manager Erika Thomas.
She says witnesses told officers the victim and an unknown man had fought several times over the course of two hours. “First a fist fight, then the suspect swung a wooden 2×4 at the victim and then he used a wheel jack and struck the victim multiple times on the back and head.”
The victim was taken to the hospital and later released once he regained consciousness. Thomas says it was determined he had no significant injuries from the fight. The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information that could help identify the suspect is asked to call Lincoln Police at 402-441-6000.
