Man severely beaten in Minneapolis
Last update: November 4, 2005 at 11:29 PM
A 35-year-old man was found beaten near downtown Minneapolis, apparently
after he called for a cab after a night out with some co-workers.
Thomas Dahl of Minneapolis, who was found injured early Thursday, was NOT
EXPECTED TO SURVIVE HIS HEAD INJURIES, said his mother-in-law, Martha
Lijewski. "It feels so unfair that such a young guy would be struck down,"
she said.
Dahl was in the intensive care unit at Hennepin County Medical Center.
Trent Palmer, an associate of Dahl's, said it appears that Dahl spent
Wednesday night downtown with a small group of co-workers. About midnight
they split up, and Dahl called for a cab home.
A little more than an hour later, a motorist pointed patrol officers in the
direction of Washington and 12th avenues N., where they found Dahl. He had
severe head injuries, perhaps caused by a piece of wood found at the scene,
Capt. Rich Stanek said.
Officers arrested a man who was standing near Dahl who apparently had taken
some of his belongings. The man who was arrested told police that another
man ran from the scene, but he was too far away for officers to catch up to
him. Dahl and his wife married about 15 years ago and have a daughter, 12,
and son, 6.
