The first week in August is peak season and that was certainly the case for the Dewey Beach bar scene this past weekend.

Just after 1:10 a.m. Sunday, police found a man severely bleeding from his thigh in the Rusty Rudder parking lot. Fortunately, a Dewey officer was equipped with QuikClot and a tourniquet and began treating him almost immediately, says Lt. Clifford Dempsey, DBPD spokesman.

Officers first assumed he had been stabbed as he had a serious wound. So they secured a crime scene. Police later discovered a blood trail and followed it to a sign mounted nearby where they suspect he somehow impaled his leg. Police are still investigating as the injured man remains hospitalized.

A few blocks away about five minutes later police found a woman who had been punched in the face somewhere on Bellevue Street.

The assault did not take place at the Bottle & Cork, Lt. Dempsey pointed out, but that’s where police found the victim. Officers arrested two women and a man as the victim was taken to the hospital. Lt. Dempsey says the victim and the female suspect who struck her know one another.
