| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Surveillance footage outside a downtown Dallas bar caught the shocking moment a random man smacked a patron over the back of his head with a large stick before fleeing. In the footage, an unidentified man could be seen stopping in front of an outdoor section of City Tavern just before 2am on Saturday and raising a large stick like a baseball bat. He then slammed it into the back of a man's head, causing the victim to topple over. The victim, later identified as Adam Mercado, could then be seen grabbing his head and rolling over in a fetal position. Mercado's girlfriend, Taylor Monnet, immediately rushes over to check on him - then runs back into the bar to call for help, as the assailant punched a City Tavern employee in the face and makes his escape. Dallas police are now searching for the suspect, but say they only have the security footage to work with, according to WFAA. He has said he and Monnet went out to City Tavern to meet up with friends for last call on Saturday morning, when he first spotted the suspect. 'I noticed a man standing off to the side of the entrance, watching the patrons on the patio, holding a tree branch that had been whittled into a spear at one end,' he wrote in an online fundraiser for his medical bills. He said he immediately knew something was wrong. 'Initially, my senses were going crazy, my intuition was going crazy, so I said, "You know what, let's go inside and get a drink,"' he told NBC DFW. The couple eventually decided to head home just before 2am - and when they stepped out onto the patio, 'That's when I felt it,' Mercado said. 'I let my guard down for about 10 seconds and that's all it took - just a WHACK.' 'The sound was loud enough to almost be a gunshot,' he noted. 'That's what scared me.' |

| #2 Or not so shocking. Dude is lucky to be alive, never mind not crippled. It is important to keep it up front that something like this is a lifelong injury. |
