A 51-year-old Middletown man has been charged with felonious assault after he allegedly punched and kicked a man Thursday night in a Middletown bar.

Brian Ingram was located by Middletown police Thursday night, arrested and charged, according to police.

Middletown Municipal Court Judge James Sherron set Ingram’s bond at $250,000 during this morning’s arraignment. Ingram’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 5, according to court records.

Police were called to Billy T’s in the 4300 block of Tytus Avenue at 8 p.m. Thursday for a bar fight. Officers found a victim had been severely assaulted.

In a 911 call to police, a woman said a man was “knocked out” and lying in the ground.

“His head hit the concrete hard,” she told a dispatcher. She said the man was breathing.

She said the alleged assailant was seen leaving in a red truck.

The man was transported by paramedics to Atrium Medical Center in Middletown, then flown in a medical helicopter to a Miami Valley Hospital. He’s listed in critical condition this afternoon, according to officials.

Police said a video of the fight won’t be released until the investigation is complete. Anyone with information is asked to call detective Ryan Morgan at 513-425-7735.
