BPD investigates possible aggravated battery

Bloomington police are investigating a possible aggravated battery that reportedly occurred during the early morning hours Sunday and resulted in significant injuries to the victim’s head, Sgt. Joseph Crider said.

Officers were dispatched to IU Health Bloomington Hospital at about 1:30 a.m. Monday, where they spoke with the injured 22-year-old man.

He told police he had been walking home from Kilroy’s Bar and Grill toward the Stadium Crossing apartment complex at about 3 a.m. Sunday.

The victim told police he could not remember exactly what had transpired. He had been drinking, he told police, but he also appeared to have been battered near Stadium
Crossing, sustaining significant injuries and suffering a concussion, Crider said.

He was initially transported to the hospital Sunday morning following the incident, Crider said. He was then released at about noon on Sunday, but returned to the hospital later that evening, which is when police were contacted.
