CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – A Louisiana man waiting to board a bus was beaten and robbed by an unknown man.
At about 8:35 p.m, on Sunday, Sept. 27, Clarksville Police responded to the Greyhound bus station on Jefferson Street in response to a robbery.
The officer spoke to the victim, a 24-year-old man, who told police he was assaulted by a person he didn't know.
Witnesses as well as the victim said a man came up, made contact with the victim and began hitting him multiple times. The man then left in a BMW, according to a Clarksville Police report
The victim had a laceration on his forehead and a bruise above his eyebrow but refused treatment when asked if he wanted an ambulance.
The officer asked him if he wanted to file a report, and he declined stating he wanted to buy his ticket and go to Louisiana.
On Monday, a woman called and reported that the victim had to be hospitalized for the injuries he sustained in the assault and suffered a broken orbital socket and broken jaw that required him to have surgery.
The man initially told police nothing had been taken, but the woman said he discovered that $97 and a cell phone had been taken during the incident.
Clarksville Police continue to investigate.
