Man stabbed in back outside bar

A man was stabbed in the back Sunday morning outside of Smed?s Place as he tried to break up a fight in the parking lot.

The victim, Brandon Redmon, was treated for a knife wound to his back which required several stitches. His alleged stabber, Inocencio B. Ordonez, is charged only with public intoxication at this time given the multiple stories being told as to what happened in the pre-dawn hours Sunday morning outside the Smithville Highway establishment.

One version of the events indicates Redmon was trying to break up a fight in front of the club just before 3 a.m. when he was cut in the back by Ordonez. The cutter reportedly ran away, fleeing across the street and tossing his knife. Two men reportedly chased him down and held him until police arrived.

In Ordonez?s version of events, he was the victim as he says he was defending himself after he was attacked by seven people in the parking lot. Charges could be pending the outcome of a further investigation.
