OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A state senator has told police that he was injured in an attack inside an Omaha bar restroom.

Aides say Sen. Burke Harr, of Omaha, suffered two broken bones in his left leg and had surgery on Thursday.

A police report says Harr told investigators that someone hit him in the leg Wednesday night and left before he could see who did it. Security at Blatt Beer & Table found him and called for medical help.

The bar near TD Ameritrade Park is a popular hangout during the College World Series.

Bar managers tell police that they don’t know of any witnesses to the attack. Police have reported no arrests.

Police Lt. Darci Tierney told Omaha television KETV that she couldn’t “think of anything that would lead up to this.”
