Columbia associate professor Lionel McIntyre assaulted Margaret Camille Davis, a production manager at the Columbia University School of the Arts, on Friday night—punching her and bruising her eye, according to police reports and local eyewitnesses.

McIntyre, a 59-year-old associate professor in the urban design program at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation, was arrested on charges of assault and harassment on Monday, according to Lt. John Grimpel. Grimpel also confirmed that Davis reported the incident to the 26th Precinct in Harlem earlier that day.

According to the police report, McIntyre assaulted Davis at Toast, a local bar on 125th Street and Broadway, on Friday evening. “He punched the victim in the face, causing bruising and redness in the right eye,” Grimpel said. He added that the case is now headed for the district attorney’s office.

1. the article is very vague about why this happened and the woman was fearful of turning her assailant

in to the police.

3. there are comments regarding the article but I don't know that they indicate

4. Beer Summit 2.0?

From what I can see on this on other reports...the assailant (male) sucker punched the victim (female) after a heated discussion.

Sucker punch is a no-no in my world - a man hitting a woman (chivalry is NOT dead to many of us)is a COMPLETE FUCKING NO-NO!

Regardless of what was being discussed and what was said - you DO NOT sucker punch a woman.

This guy is a loser and an asshole in my book
