Bar can be sued for attack on Black man, Michigan court says ED WHITE, Associated Press FacebookTwitterEmail DETROIT (AP) A northern Michigan bar can be sued by a Black man who said he was twice attacked by a white customer because of his race, the state Court of Appeals said. Employees at BS & Co., a bar in Wolverine in Cheboygan County, had a duty to call police but failed to act after Ed Tyson suffered the first punches, the court said Thursday. Tyson, the only Black resident in the tiny village, said he was called a racial slur and slugged repeatedly by David Dawkins when he tried to pick up a pizza in 2015. He suffered frontal lobe brain damage and bleeding on the brain.

Black man can sue northern Michigan bar after he was attacked twice because of his race, court rules By Ed White FILE - Generic gavel on wooden table. Employees at BS & Co., a bar in Wolverine in Cheboygan County, had a duty to call police but failed to act after Edward Tyson suffered the first punches, the court said Thursday. Tyson said he was called a racial slur and slugged repeatedly by David Dawkins when he tried to pick up a pizza in 2015. He said he suffered frontal lobe brain damage and bleeding on the brain. A jury might also conclude that had Dawkins learned that the police were called after the first assault, he would not have felt emboldened to engage in the second assault, the appeals court said.
