FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) - A 36-year-old Fairbanks man suffered a serious head injury when he was assaulted on a city street.

Raye Diamond was flown to Anchorage in critical condition for treatment.

Police Wednesday found Diamond being tended to by security officers at a bus park in downtown Fairbanks.

Witnesses say Diamond was pushing a bike when a man stepped from the transit building, claimed the bike belonged to a friend and punched Diamond in the face.

Diamond was knocked unconscious. As he fell, his head hit concrete. Police say he suffered brain bleed and swelling of the brain.

Surveillance video recorded the confrontation.

The suspect fled on the bike but was arrested Wednesday night.

Thirty-one-year-old Hoe Young Kim is charged with robbery and felony assault. Online court records do not list his attorney.
