According to witnesses at the Marathon on Austin Peay Highway, the victim ran into a black Dodge Ram and was attacked by the driver.

Investigators said the first punch knocked the victim to the ground, and he was hit at least two more times. They said the injuries to the victim were so severe he had to be hospitalized.
