Miles Present At Bar Fight In Portland

Oct 24, 2007 12:04 PM EST

Portland police detectives are investigating a report of a fight over the weekend at a bar where Trail Blazer Darius Miles was present.

Police said there was "some type of disturbance" Saturday night at the City Sportsbar and Restaurant, 424 S.W. Fourth Ave. On Sunday, police got a call from a man who had gone to an area hospital for treatment of a broken limb. Elijah L. Warren told authorities he was injured during the fight.

Portland Police Bureau spokesman Sgt. Brian Schmautz would not disclose the name of the alleged attacker, saying it could compromise the police investigation. He said a number of people took part in the disturbance.

"The victim... says Darius Miles was definitely there," Schmautz said.

Tim Pearce, owner of the restaurant, said he was not at the bar during the altercation but he said he's spoken with his management staff. He said Miles was in the establishment at the time but did not take part in the scuffle.
