An Oskaloosa man faces assault charges after allegedly striking two employees of a downtown Iowa City establishment.
Shortly after 1am Sunday, 23-year-old Kyle Blair was being removed from El Rays Live & Dive on East Iowa Avenue. He reportedly struck two different bar staff in the face multiple times without provocation. He also allegedly hit a woman who was trying to break up the skirmish.
The victims sustained minor facial injuries from the punches.
Blair was arrested and charged with two counts of Assault Causing Bodily Injury and could be sentenced to up to two years in jail if convicted on both charges. He was released on his own recognizance pending future court dates.
