An alleged perpetrator, Lionel Melaki Timms, 32, was bailed out of jail by the Minnesota Freedom Fund just days before allegedly assaulting a Minneapolis bar manager.
The manager was left with a traumatic brain injury. Doctors said the family is preparing for a long road to recovery.
Police said Timms reportedly hit and kicked the bar manager in the head during the attack. Timms then allegedly left the victim lying helpless in the alley and unable to defend himself.
According to police reports, the officers who responded to the 911 call were dispatched to the location on the 300 block of East Hennepin Avenue in southeast Minneapolis. They arrived on the scene around 10:30 a.m.
The victim, who prefers to remain anonymous, stepped out the back door at Mac’s Industrial Sports Bar on East Hennepin Avenue on Friday, Aug. 14. According to the victim, the attack by the suspect was during a robbery attempt.
