Lincoln Police Capt. Dennis Duckworth said early Saturday morning was a busy one for police, with several serious assaults.

At 12:45 a.m. Saturday, a 20-year-old man was kicked repeatedly by a group of individuals he accused of stealing his property. The alleged victim told police the group crashed the party he held on the 1500 block of North 27 Street, Duckworth said.

The investigation is ongoing; there were no suspects identified as of Saturday morning.

Then, at 1 a.m., police were called to the Tack Room, 1445 Cornhusker Highway, to another brawl. A 49-year-old man suffered a skull fracture and internal bleeding from hitting his head on the floor during a fight.

Lincoln Fire and Rescue medics took him to BryanLGH Medical Center West for treatment. His injuries did not appear to be life-threatening.

Duckworth said Lincoln Police have a 25-year-old man in custody they believe is responsible for the 49-year-old's injuries. He was treated and released at BryanLGH West for a broken arm sustained during the fight before he was turned over to police custody.

" Hey Kdhergie I do not agree with you. I have been going to the tackroom for the past four years. And I personally know the owners. They care about there establishment and do not kick people out for know reason. THey will kick you out if you are doing something wrong. And I have never seen any of the bar tenders drink behind the bar. Also, the guy who was injured is a very caring individual and I also have knowen him for sometime. He is a very laid back guy who never looks for trouble. Hope he is ok. "

" That is why some people should not be allowed to drink...causing fights in the bar is a sign that that person should have been kicked out of the bar when they first had signs of drunkeness!!! "

" kdhergie, you must have been kicked out of the Tackroom for causing problems. If not, you wouldnt have said what you said! The Tackroom is not bad news! Its people who get violent and think they are invisible, and are looking for trouble when they are drunk that are bad news. The owners of the bar are great people! They do what is best for their bar! I personally know each one the the Tackrooms staff, from the owners to the waitress's to the bartenders to the KJ's and to the bouncers! They all want what is best for that bar! That's why, they will all do what they can to keep the Tackroom and safe and fun place to be! This is why people get kicked out who cause problems! Who wants to go to a bar where there are drunk stupid people looking for fights? Not me! And for the comment about the bouncers only kick out people who are a lot smaller then them, I watched the bouncer kick a guy out 3 Saturdays ago, who stood taller than him and out weighted him. They only people the bouncers kick out are the one's who are causing a problem with other customers or the staff. For the comment about drinking behide the bar, the only drinking that goes on back there is non alcoholic. They all bust their butts to make sure everyone is taken care of in a bar packed with people, and they arent allowed to have a drink? The 49 year old man is a great guy! He did not deserve what happend to him! I know he will recover and be well again soon! The last I heard he was out of the hospital. The Tackroom is a great bar! In fact it's the only bar I go to! I will stand behind them 110% and I know there are a lot of others who would do the same! Lastly, for those of you who like to go out drinking and look for problems, go some where else with it! They dont need or want people like that in that bar! "
