Assault at Forest Street parking structure under investigation
A 20-year-old University of Michigan student suffered a broken jaw and had teeth knocked out when he was assaulted this morning at the Forest Street parking structure on South Forest Avenue, police said.
Detective Dave Monroe said the student was on the second floor of the structure at 2:30 a.m. when two men confronted him about urinating there.
One of the men then attacked him, Monroe said. They made a reference to the Marine Corps during the incident, Monroe said.
The victim was taken to an area hospital and remembered few details, Ann Arbor police Lt. Renee Bush said.
He was able to give police a description of his attacker: white, in his mid-20s, around 5 feet 6 inches tall, 145-150 pounds, with curly, blond hair, and was wearing a T-shirt and blue jeans.
Monroe said the attacker may have left in a red SUV or pickup truck.
Anyone with information can call police at (734) 794-6939.

Seriously? How brave do you have to be Marine to attack a drunk man at 2:30 in the morning...really...

Since the article states the victim was urinating on the suspect's car, and I doubt the suspect's car was parked in an elevator or stairwell, you can assume it occured where they park the cars.

Urinating in the parking structure? This guy is lucky the cops don't arrest him and put him on the sex offender registry!

Are they going to issue this man a public urination citation? It sounds like he admits to it, and I think it would be inappropriate to attempt to prosecute the alleged assailants without charging him as well.

Perhaps the author [Lee Higgins] could shed some light on it. I would hope that if the author did have any pertinent information, it would not have been withheld from the article. And I would think that Ed's questions would have been asked by the editor prior to publishing!

2:30 am wearing a t-shirt? the perp was probably trying to steal the victim's coat....it was cold at midnight when I walked the dog!
