CHICAGO (AP) - Minneapolis police have arrested a Chicago man suspected of throwing a punch that left unconscious a bartender who moments later was accidently run over by a taxi.
A video released by the family of 32-year-old Marques Gaines shows more than a dozen people doing nothing to help him after he was punched by a man and fell to the ground Feb. 7. The video shows his cellphone and debit card being stolen.
The Chicago Tribune reports (https://trib.in/2kCrB96 ) the man who allegedly threw the punch was arrested Monday on a warrant issued by authorities in Chicago.
The man is unidentified because he hasn’t been formally charged. He appeared before a Hennepin County, Minnesota judge on Wednesday and waived extradition to Cook County.
Gaines’ family settled wrongful death and negligence lawsuits against several businesses and taxi companies in his death.
