While at a bar on the 200 block of E. Merrill in Birmingham around 1 a.m. on Sunday, May 18, a group of men got into an argument which ended with an assault.


According to the victim of the confrontation, he argued with the group then separated himself and went outside. He reported that the group approached him again outside and one of them punched him in the face, which witnesses were able to confirm, per Birmingham police.


The assailant fled after punching the victim, but Birmingham police say an investigation is ongoing.
