It was the second serious incident involving a pedestrian being struck on 4th Avenue near the bar in the past three months. Thomas Davis, 32, was crossing 4th Avenue to go to work at the bar when he was struck at about 10:15 p.m., according to a police statement. Davis suffered a broken leg, head trauma, a lacerated liver and bruised lungs. A witness who was working security outside the bar when the incident occurred said the car sped up and swerved to hit Davis.
