A Chattanooga man, attacked in his hotel room last night was taken to Erlanger Hospital after being severely beaten in the head. Willie Beard told police that just before 8 pm; he answered a knock at his hotel room door and was surprised by two black males dressed in all black. One of the suspects had a gun and began beating him in the head with it.
Beard said that he was forced on to his bed where the beating continued. The incident was interrupted by the hotel manager who overheard the commotion and came to investigate. The suspects were able to escape in a dark colored sedan prior to police arrival. The motive for the incident has yet to be determined.
Beard’s current condition is unknown however, his injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
