On Oct. 26, police responded to a report that a 19-year-old man was knocked out by a security guard working at an event at a bar on the 3500 block of Mayor Magrath Drive South.

The victim then fell down, hitting his head on the pavement.
On Oct. 30, he was discharged from hospital and is recovering.
