The victim's hand and face both required stitches.

 

""The victim was less than forthcoming with officers regarding what had occurred and initially did not provide the correct spelling for his own last name,"" DeSpain said in a statement.

 

The victim told police he was in a bar and got near two men who were fighting.

 

""As he walked past, he felt something brush his cheek, but did not know he was cut until later on,"" DeSpain said.

 

The victim told police he never saw a weapon.
