Tuesday night, the Daily Caller’s Sean Medlock, who writes and tweets under the pen name “Jim Treacher,” had a violent run-in on the streets of a northwest Washington D.C. neighborhood and tweeted about it afterward. He says he was nearly run over by a car, after which an altercation ensued with the driver — a man named “Josh.” The results are not pretty:

This is all my blood, thanks to my new friend Josh. pic.twitter.com/EJPw8VOZfH — Jim Treacher (@jtLOL) December 4, 2013

I'm okay. I just really don't like being cut off when I'm trying to walk down the street. — Jim Treacher (@jtLOL) December 4, 2013

I'm okay. The police let me go, but they say I'll be hearing from them. I don't know about the guy who cut me off and then beat me up. — Jim Treacher (@jtLOL) December 4, 2013

@betsyscribeindc Because his girlfriend was yelling it as he was hitting me. — Jim Treacher (@jtLOL) December 4, 2013

Medlock says DC police placed him in handcuffs and ridiculed him:

As I sat there handcuffed, one Metro DC cop mocked me for crying and another one made fun of my weight. Can't say I blame them for either. — Jim Treacher (@jtLOL) December 4, 2013

@TheMaverick21 Because I live in Washington, DC.For not very much longer. — Jim Treacher (@jtLOL) December 4, 2013

@BigHungryGiant For them having handcuffs. — Jim Treacher (@jtLOL) December 4, 2013

In a separate incident nearly four years ago, Medlock was seriously injured when he was struck by a car in DC in February 2010. He has documented his travails here.

We wish him a speedy recovery.
