Police find suspect in downtown bar assault

A man broke the nose of a staff member at about 11 p.m. Wednesday at Crowbar, 420 E. College Ave., and hit another staff member in the face, the State College Police Department said yesterday.

Police said Crowbar employee Anthony Zolota, 22, approached the suspect inside the bar because he was bumping into other patrons. The suspect then hit Zolota in the face, breaking his nose, police said.

A second Crowbar employee, Joel Lyons, 22, then approached the suspect and escorted him outside. Once outside, the suspect hit Lyons in the face when he was looking away, police said.

Zolota was taken to Mount Nittany Medical Center and was later released. Lyons was not injured.

Officers immediately arrested the suspect when they arrived at the scene. Police said the man was visibly intoxicated.

Police would not release the 24-year-old suspect's name because he has not yet been charged, but added he would soon be charged with simple assault, harassment and public drunkenness. Police said the suspect is a resident of St. Mary's.
