Police seek persons of interest after man beaten at Salt Lake City bar

SALT LAKE CITY -- (KSTU) -- Salt Lake City Police hope someone can help them identify five persons of interest after a man was severely injured at a local bar on Saturday.

Todd Snyder told FOX 13 he was at Jackalope Lounge to celebrate his birthday Saturday night when he saw two men take a woman into the men's restroom.

“She tried coming back out,” said Snyder. “They pushed her back in and another two guys went in there. That's when I started banging on the door. They said 'Mind your own business.' I said, 'No, she needs to come out. That's not OK.'”

Snyder said he can't remember what happened next, but that he “came to” while he was stumbling around in the back alley with a broken jaw and a swollen eye.

Snyder needed six hours of surgery to wire his mouth shut.

Police described the persons of interest (pictured above) as follows:

• First female adult with blonde hair wearing a pink jacket and a gray sweatshirt with the word “Love” written in pink lettering.

• Second female adult with blonde hair wearing a black shirt and black pants.

• First male adult wearing a gray and white baseball cap with sunglasses on cap, and a G.I. Joe gray hooded sweatshirt.

• Second male adult wearing a black beanie cap with a gray hooded sweatshirt and a goatee.

• Third male adult is bald with a goatee and is wearing a gray and black zip-up jacket.
