Trooper Applies Tourniquet to Injured Vincennes Man
Knox County – Trooper Brad Mull applied a tourniquet to the arm of a Vincennes man last night and potentially saved his life. The Vincennes man was injured during a confrontation with three unknown men.
Last night at approximately 8:25, Indiana State Police and Vincennes City Police responded to Huck’s Convenience Store located at the corner of St. Clair and Washington Avenue in Vincennes after receiving a 911 call regarding a seriously injured person on their property.
Preliminary investigation revealed a 30-year-old male and a 24-year-old female were walking together on a street near their residence in Vincennes when a blue Jeep Liberty passed by. A male inside the vehicle allegedly yelled at the female. After a brief verbal confrontation, the vehicle drove away. The married couple continued to walk until they arrived home on 14 ½ Street. They soon noticed the Jeep Liberty was outside their residence. When the husband opened the front door the three men allegedly attacked him. The wife was also struck after she went outside to assist her husband. During the struggle the glass storm door broke and severely injured the husband’s arm. The three men fled the scene. The couple’s cell phones were not working and they had to walk to Huck’s to call 911.
Troopers are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the three white men or any information concerning the blue Jeep Liberty. All three men are believed to be between the ages of 25-30. Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact the Indiana State Police at 1-800-852-3970. Anyone with information can remain anonymous.
