Iowa City police are investigating an early morning assault in which a man accused another of being a zombie, then punched him twice. Police said the assault occurred at 1:17 a.m. Sunday at an Iowa City restaurant south of the University of Iowa campus.

A man was ordering food when he was approached by another man who called him a zombie, then hit him in the eye. When the victim tried to call police on his cell phone, the man punched him again, breaking his nose.

The man then ran out a back door.

The victim was taken by ambulance to a hospital.

The man had it coming. He should have admitted his zombie status immediately. Then all would be well.

Hey, that’s discrimination against the undead.
The perp should be caught and have his warm gooey brains eaten.

I emphatically deny that I was in Iowa City at any time this weekend, nor are my knuckles abraded in any way.

From the comments on the article

It was simply

a case of mistaken identity.....the victim was simply mistaken for being a zombie when in fact he was not, he may have looked like one but that doesn't mean he was one. The attacker apparantly believed the victim was a zombie and did what he thought was appropriate which was sock him in the eye and then when the victim tried calling for help he was rewarded by the attacker with a wallop to the nose. The guy who hates zombies needs to go to some anger control therapy because you just cant go around punching zombies in the face.

There is no way alcohol was involved in this incident.

*reading from the zombie handbook*
“Welcome to the ranks of the shuffling snuffling undead! As a new member of the ravening zombie hordes, you will need to know a few things.
First, it’s said, “Braaaaaaaaaains!”
Second, more drool and shuffle, less transfixed staring.”

Don’t ask how I got the handbook.
/ bad joke.

Right you are. Shovels are much more appropriate, even more so if the eating establishment is a Waffle House!
