Iowa City Police are looking for a man who assaulted another at a restaurant — claiming the victim was a “zombie.”

According to a police news release, officers arrived at Panchero’s, 965 S. Riverside Drive, about 1:17 a.m. after getting a report of the assault.

Police said in the release that the victim was in the process or ordering food when a man came up to him, accused the victim of being a zombie, then punched the victim in the eye.

When the victim attempted to use his cell phone to call police, the assailant hit him again, this time breaking the victim’s nose. The assailant then fled out the back door of the restaurant.

The suspect is described as a dark-complected white male with short brown hair, about 20 years old, between six feet and six feet, two inches tall and weighing between 200 and 230 pounds. He was wearing a brown coat and blue jeans.

The victim was transported by ambulance to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics for treatment. The incident remains under investigation.
