Ours was wanted for the January 5 assault at a VFW bar, which was caught on video, n. Police said that the victim, later identified as Preston Coleman, was “viciously attacked and strangled” for about 30 minutes, periodically taking breaks before returning to beat Coleman further.

A few days after the assault, another man identified as joining in on the attack turned himself in, WTAE reported. Ron Brown was charged with  aggravated assault, simple assault, and liability for the conduct of another.

Coleman, the victim, remains hospitalized.
