Man punched during argument while walking to an Ann Arbor bar
A 21-year-old man was treated Sunday for a swollen left eye and a laceration after being punched by an unknown man while walking to a bar, according to police.
Ann Arbor police Lt. Renee Bush said police responded at 3:36 a.m. Sunday to University of Michigan Hospital’s emergency room after the assault was reported. The assault itself took place in the 1000 block of Hill Street.
Bush said the man was walking to a bar and got into an argument with a man who was walking behind him. The man punched the 21-year-old from behind and then fled the area.
The 21-year-old man sought medical attention at U-M Hospital. There was no suspect description available Monday morning.

I wonder if they were arguing about when the bars close.

Sissy U of M students are back... a man would've beat the guy up in return instead of weeping as he called the police. The hospital for a black eye? I dislocated my knee cap and stayed on the couch for a day and wrapped it. Bet he was wearing skinny jeans and buddy holly glasses. Adam Carolla had it right. "In fifty years we'll all be chicks". Around here it'll be much sooner.

Oh, Matt, you have wounded me. I weep to think of all the indignities I have suffered in this life, but you are spot on with the cute bit.

A comment that would have violated AnnArbor.com's conversation guidelines was never made.

That is a great book. If you haven't listened to Carolla's podcast, do so. He's right...in 50 years we'll all be chicks.

Two men walking down the street. One guy walked into a bar. The other guy ducked.

First thing I thought of when I saw this was "So a guy walks into a bar..." but didn't know how it would be received here.

Drunken fights on Hill St. at 3:30a.m. The leaders and the best have returned.

Leaders of racking up student debt prior to their employment at Starbucks.

Is this one of those situations where the hospital's blood alcohol test level printed out in red?

"Bush said the man was walking to a bar and got into an argument with a man who was walking behind him. The man punched the 21-year-old from behind and then fled the area." How did the man get a swollen left eye after being punched from behind?

@bbb - Really big right hook. This is what they call a "reach around", right?

"How did the man get a swollen left eye after being punched from behind?" I can show you. Just stand in front of me for a sec...

The punch from behind could have resulted in the victim falling face first into something.

If punched from behind it would have been a left hook to cause a swollen left eye.

Big right hook.
