Valentine’s Day got off to a bad start when a motorist intentionally struck two pedestrians near Havana Bar & Grill on Cedar Springs Road early Monday, according to police reports.
Reports say the suspect and the victim, a 39-year-old black male, got into an argument that became a physical fight at about 2 a.m. at 4008 Cedar Springs Road. After a security guard stepped in to break up the fight, the suspect got in a vehicle and intentionally accelerated toward the victim. The suspect’s vehicle struck the victim as well as a witness, before the suspect fled northbound on Cedar Springs Road. The two injured people were taken to Parkland hospital.
Sr. Cpl. Kevin Janse, a spokesman for the Dallas Police Department, said Tuesday that police hadn’t made any arrests.
“Victim is claiming he doesn’t remember what happened,” Janse said. “No one knows the suspect and there are conflicting stories about what really took place. Detectives will continue to try to get to the bottom of what really happened. It is unknown the condition of the victim at this time.”
The suspect’s vehicle is described as a cream-colored, four-door Nissan. Anyone with information can call the Crimes Against Persons Division at 214- 671-3584.

From across the street, the fight appeared to have had a female involved in the fight in the middle of Cedra Springs. When Havana’s security officer had broken up the fight and was “Guiding” a male out of the street toward Havana’s valet area the female, with long dark hair pulled back into a ponytail, tried to jump the security officer from behind and another male pulled her back just before she got to the officer. It appeared that the female got into the vehicle and was the one driving the vehicle as it sped down the sidewalk where at least a dozen or more people were standing when she struck the two men and then fled the scene.
