BROOKSVILLE, FL – On Friday, July 16, 2021 at 1:44 a.m., Hernando County Sheriff’s deputies responded to REBAR located at 10123 Broad Street in Brooksville in reference to multiple pedestrians being intentionally hit by a driver of a vehicle. The incident occurred in the parking lot of REBAR.
An investigation revealed the suspect, Michael Murphy, 32, had caused a disturbance inside the bar prior to the incident in the parking lot. Upon being asked to leave, Murphy got into his truck and began doing doughnuts in the parking lot and then onto Broad Street. During this time, Murphy crashed into numerous vehicles and then purposely ran into a group of people who were standing outside the establishment.
A good Samaritan who was driving by and witnessed the incident intervened as Murphy attempted to flee the area. The good Samaritan used his vehicle to ram Murphy’s vehicle, which caused it to crash into a guardrail. As deputies arrived on scene, Murphy was still attempting to flee yet deputies were able to take Murphy into custody without further incident.
Two of Murphy’s victims were transported to an area hospital for treatment of broken bones. A third victim was flown by medical helicopter to an area trauma center for treatment. None of the injuries appeared to be life threatening.
