According to the arrest report, both suspects had been playing pool when the victim asked to use the table when they were done, leading to an argument.
Barron then allegedly punched the man from behind using brass knuckles, knocking him unconscious, the paper reported.
As the victim was on the floor, Luna-Sandoval allegedly proceeded to “kick/stomp [the victim] approximately five times on the head and the neck.” police said, citing surveillance video of the incident.
The unidentified victim was taken to a hospital with multiple injuries to his head, the Review-Journal reported.
