Man who asked Ybor club performer for photo attacked, in critical condition: Tampa police - WFLA

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Tampa police are investigating an attack at Club Skye that left a man in critical condition Monday morning.

Officers said at about 1:17 a.m., the man approached a performer who just had a concert at Club Skye, located on East 8th Avenue in Ybor City, for a photo. Club Skye’s website showed that the performer for that night was Nardo Wick, a rapper from Jacksonville.

According to a release, a group of people “who appeared to be affiliated with the performer” punched the fan, inflicting severe injuries on him. Video of the incident showed the fan approach the group before he was punched against a wall and punched again, knocking him to the ground.

The victim was taken to a hospital outside of Hillsborough County, where the attack was reported to authorities.

Police said the victim remained in critical but stable condition as of Tuesday afternoon. The victim’s family identified him as George Obregón, 20.

Wick’s team, released a statement condemning the attack, saying he was not involved.

I want to start by saying that Nardo is furious over what happened! He did not condone or participate in anything that occurred. He  took no part in it. As soon as he  realized what was happening, he  jumped to  put a stop to it. 

That’s not his security nor are the individuals directly connected to Nardo. 

Nardo spoke with the victims mother the same night it occurred, and management has been in contact with the mother in reference to his condition. We are praying for a speedy recovery! Nardo loves and genuinely cares about his fans.
