Man Accused Of Hammering Victim's Head
Friends Say Injury So Bad That Man's Brain Could Be Seen Through Hole
Glenwood Springs, Colorado -- A Glenwood Springs man is behind bars and another is hospitalized in Grand Junction after an apparent hammer attack to the head.
Eduardo Esparza, 21, was arrested Friday on suspicion of first-degree assault.
Friends of the alleged victim told police that another man attacked him with a hammer as they were leaving the Oasis Bar and Grill early Nov. 13.
The friends first took the injured man home, but decided later to take him to Valley View Hospital when he started acting "goofy."
The victim's wound was reportedly so bad that his brain could be seen through the hole left by the hammer.
The man survived and is said to be recovering.
Glenwood Springs police Chief Terry Wilson said the victim could easily have died.
