A bar employee and a customer ended up in the hospital late Friday night after a fight outside a Covington watering hole turned into a stabbing, according to police. The confrontation broke out around 10:58 p.m. in the parking lot of Zazou Grill & Pub on West Sixth Street, leaving both men with serious injuries.
According to FOX19, the fight involved a bar employee and an adult male customer. Lt. Bradbury told the station both men suffered serious injuries in the altercation. The customer reportedly drove himself to Christ Hospital for treatment before being transferred to UC Medical Center for further care.
By Saturday, the outlet's report noted both the worker and the customer were listed in stable condition at UC Medical Center. Details about what set off the confrontation, or how the stabbing unfolded, have not been released.
No Arrests Made As Investigation Continues
As of the station's publication, Covington police had not made any arrests or filed charges in connection with the incident. Officers are still working to determine what led to the fight, per the same account, and no further updates on a possible motive have surfaced.
Anyone seeking official records on the case would need to go through standard channels, since the City of Covington Police Department notes that incident reports typically become available three to four days after they are filed. The department advises callers to confirm availability before requesting a copy.
The Zazou Grill & Pub parking lot sits along a stretch of West Sixth Street in downtown Covington, an area that draws a steady late-night crowd. For now, the circumstances that led two men from a bar's front door to a hospital bed remain under investigation, with police offering no timeline for when charges might be filed.
