Oxford police responded to a fight inside of The Annex Oxford, a bar on the Square, this weekend that left one male in “serious condition.” The victim is a student at Holmes Community College and is now in the care of Regional One Health in Memphis.
Captain Hildon Sessums of the Oxford Police Department said bar security flagged down officers on the Square at 12:11 a.m. Sunday to assist with a fight that had just broken out. Officers then entered the crowded bar and began clearing patrons from the scene.
“When officers went in, there was a male unconscious on the floor,” Sessums said.
Sessums said the victim was tended to by an Oxford Fire Department medical team stationed on the Square before EMS transportation arrived. The male was taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital before being transported to Regional One Health in Memphis.
“(EMS) arrived shortly after (the incident),” Sessums said. “Our transport time has them on the scene at 12:26 a.m. Sunday.”
Sessums said OPD made contact with the victim’s father after identifying him and that there have been no arrests made in this ongoing investigation.
The Daily Mississippian will continue to report on this developing story.
