Another Fight Reported At Wow Billiard, Bar In Downtown Concord: Watch

Police and fire and rescue teams were called to a fight on Friday after Market Days shut down; one man bloodied; a suspect flees the scene.

CONCORD, NH — Concord police are investigating another fight at a downtown bar and billiard joint on Friday.

Around 10:45 p.m., officers were sent to Wow Billiard and Bar on North Main Street for a report of a fight. Officers who were already in the area due to the Market Days Festival shutting down, as well as a sheriff’s employee, headed to the area.

The first responding officer confirmed there had been an incident — with one man bloodied and bleeding from the mouth at the scene. The officer requested Concord fire and rescue teams to come down and check the man out.

The reporting officer said the man was white with a red beard wearing a baseball cap with a white or lightly colored plaid shirt, and in his mid-30s.

Another officer, who was on South Main Street, began looking for a fleeing suspect. The reporting officer said witnesses said the man fled down Pleasant Street Extension toward Storrs Street. Other officers also searched from the north side of the downtown area while witnesses were interviewed. An officer also performed a walkthrough of the bar to see if the suspect was still there, and he was not.

According to scanner chatter, several people around the city were questioned, but none were a perfect match.

One witness said they saw and heard a man screaming while running north on Storrs Street. Officers cornered a possible suspect at the Holiday Inn on North Main Street and questioned him. The man, however, was interviewed and cleared.

An officer told dispatch the owner of the bar agreed to turn over video of the suspect to police on Saturday.

Later, another man was questioned near the Cheers Restaurant on Depot Street. That man, a homeless man with known prior contacts, was cleared.

“He’s not involved,” an officer told dispatch.

During the incident downtown, officers were pulled away from the scene for an alarm activation at Rundlett Middle School, and a teenager on a bicycle was struck by a vehicle at the intersection of West Washington and Warren streets. The teen was taken to Concord Hospital.

An officer later told dispatch there were no signs of forced entry after checking Rundlett.
