Man Attacked With Golf Club Near Courthouse

DSCF5624

Tonight about 8:30 p.m., a man leaving the Courthouse Market was struck from behind two times with a golf club. A witness told law enforcement he had been driving by on 4th street when he witnessed the attack. He told the officer he honked his horn, jumped out to help and called 911.

Eureka Police were nearby and arrived quickly on the scene. They arrested the suspect not far from the entrance to the jail.

The victim refused medical and gave permission for his photo to be taken. It is graphic. Consider not scrolling to the bottom if you might be disturbed.

I know the victim, and he doesn’t drink. It’s just a neighborhood market. We took our friend to the emergency room later, and to an ophthalmologist today. He will be fine, thank goodness.

A huge applause of appreciation to the man who stopped the assault and to the officers quick apprehension of the criminal. I hope the man will be alright.

Had I been there they’d still be unwrapping the golf club from the attacker’s head. What they understand is PAIN.

Too bad the poor guy didn’t have a concealed carry permit. (I’m assuming). I’m near his age and it would have turned out differently if it had been me.

he would be dead, only an idiot would try to pull a gun on someone when they were dazed and probably have the reaction time of a tortoise on their best days.

Yes, perhaps multiple innocent bystanders would have been shot as well.

The victim is my best friend. I’ve known him since I was 14 years old, & I’m 64 now. Thank you to all of you for your kind words and best wishes. It’s a shame this kind of thing happens in our town, but refreshing to see all of you who truly care.

Now maybe we have hit the low point when the courthouse market and smoke shop just moves into the jail with a window facing the outside world …

Thank God I have a Hard head.. I am Ok and My Eye is Healing well Thank You all for Your Concern. It is My Understanding that the Attacker is in Prison Now after Attacking a Correctional Officer at the Humboldt County Jail and having Additional Charges of Elderly Abuse Added to His Charges..
