The man who was involved in an altercation with an off-duty Detroit police commander is in the hospital and unresponsive, his attorney said.
Michael Karpovich, 41, was involved in an altercation with Commander Timothy Leach during the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Corktown.
Leach was working security inside the Ottava Via restaurant and bar on Michigan Avenue last Sunday when allegedly he tossed out an 'unruly patron,' according to police.
Karpovich's attorney says he is unresponsive with multiple skull fractures, a bilateral brain contusion. He is also on a ventilator.
His family released the following statement:
"We met with DPD and we will not be doing any interviews until the investigation is over, we have full confidence in the investigation. DPD is interviewing witness's and looking at all video."
7 Action News has reached out to Leach multiple times and has not heard back.
