The team and player said Monday that Pedres’ outfielder Tommy Pham was injured Sunday night in an out-of-midway district strip club injury and underwent knife wound surgery on his lower back, the team and player said Monday.
San Diego police said Fassen attacked Midway Drive, west of Rosecran Street, outside Pacers Shogglers International, at 10:10 p.m. Sunday.
According to two people who spoke to Pham, the incident happened when Pham was leaving the club and came to argue near his car. According to one source, Fame was attacked after people involved in the argument, who did not know him, were asked to flee their car.
Police described the injuries as “slash injuries” that are not life-threatening. No organs were damaged, and Pham had stitches to close the piercing wound on all three layers of skin.
“I thank the incredible medical staff of UC San Diego Health last night,” Fame said in a statement released by the team. “While it was a very traumatic and eye-opening experience for me, I’m on my way to recovery and I know I’ll be back to my off-fee ason training routine.”
San Diego Police spokesman Lt. Shaw Tak Na Tekuchi said no description of the suspect is available, but he “does not know the Pham suspects.”
He said detectives were searching the video after investigating the club and other nearby businesses.
“We are aware of last night’s incident involving Tommy Pham,” Pedres said in a statement. “He was treated at UC San Diego Health and is currently in good condition. It is expected to achieve a full recovery. The San Diego Police Department is actively investigating the incident and we will not have any further comment at this time. ”
