An Ogden bar crowd fought off an attacker who "pierced” one man’s skull with a knife and stabbed a second victim, police say

A man with a knife “pierced the skull” of a man and stabbed another in the chest before a passerby outside an Ogden bar threw the attacker on the ground and wrested the knife away, police wrote in charges filed this week.

Witnesses said the man was asked to leave the Historic Place bar, 162 25th St., during an argument on Monday afternoon, when he began lunging at patrons and trying to stab them, according to court documents. He replied that he would not leave and was going to kill people, police wrote. The man, 25, also said he wanted his food, police wrote.
