Shovel-wielding suspect sought after altercation outside Holladay bar

HOLLADAY, Utah, April 11, 2017 (Gephardt Daily) — A man took a swing at a woman outside of a Holladay bar Monday night, and police would like to talk with him.

Unified Police Lt. Paul Barker said officers were dispatched at 11:12 p.m. on an assault call to Cruzrs Saloon, 3943 S. Highland.

They arrived to find that some sort of dispute had taken place in the parking lot of the establishment and a woman had been hit in the head with a snow shovel.

Barker told Gephardt Daily that the assailant had picked up a snow shovel and swung it at the woman, leaving a small cut on her head. He then fled on foot. K-9 units were called out, but the man wasn’t found.

Barker said the suspect was described as a black male, 24 to 28 years old, wearing a red hat and a red shirt.

Anyone who has any information about the incident is asked to call Unified Police dispatch at 801-743-7000.
