A Minnesota State Fairgoer was savagely attacked by a group of “young men” who fractured his jaw in multiple places — turning his night out with friends into a “hellish nightmare,” his fianceé claimed.
Sammy Kimbrough, 45, was left in critical condition and needed emergency reconstructive surgery Saturday night after the brutal assault that knocked him unconscious and left him bloodied at the annual event in St. Paul, Minn.
“Last night, Sammy was brutally assaulted by a group of young men in a completely senseless act of violence,” Kimbrough’s fianceé Heather Hoffman wrote on Facebook Sunday.
“Anyone who knows Sammy knows that he is one of the most laid-back, kind-hearted, and non-confrontational men you could ever meet. This has been a lot to wrap our heads around,” Hoffman added.
Kimbrough attended the closing weekend of the state fair, which is billed as the largest in Minnesota, with friends and his soon-to-be-bride when he was attacked.
Kimbrough and two others split from the main group and were exploring the 322-acre fairground when he accidentally bumped into another person who was with a group of eight to 12 people.
“This young man ended up getting into a verbal conversation with Sammy, becoming aggressive,” Hoffman told St. Paul Pioneer Press. “Sammy had tried to say, ‘Excuse me,’ ‘Back up,’ when he then got punched.”
Kimbrough was knocked down by another person who threw a punch before more people in the group began “stomping his face into the pavement,” Hoffman said.
“What should have been an insignificant moment escalated into something unimaginable. The group attacked him, knocking him unconscious and kicking him in the face after he had fallen,” family friend Kira Roland wrote on GoFundMe.

My 5+ years on the MPDC taught me all I need to know about those ‘people’.
When I first learned about Tulsa, I found it unimaginable.
I find it less so every day.
Let me guess... black and/or Somali.
“What should have been an insignificant moment escalated into something unimaginable.”
It is only ”unimaginable” if you never watched or read Scott Adams, do not read FR, or you do not watch videos on X.
What is “MPDC?” Is it the District of Columbia Police?
Yes
Looking good Minnesota, you deserve it, and more.
Minnesota: Land of 10,000 thugs
We used to call it wilding.
But that would be racist.
People voted for this to happen unfortunately.
We’re going to need more cages for the feral.
No information provided on the attackers, or their motivation if any. If there was no motivation, then the reporter could have stated that there was no apparent motivation for the attack on him. If that was the case, that there was no motivation, then the odds go way up that it was them Yogi.
When will this stop?
When we quit allowing it to happen
Much respect. You must have some tales to tell.
State Fair desert ping.
If it’s one of theirs who cares? If it’s one of ours they should have known better than to be around ferals.
Victim black , with white fiancee of course .
Hardly a day goes by that I don’t call upon some skill that I picked up there. Whether it’s driving a car or sizing up people. I couldn’t have purchased an education like that at any price, imo.
I hate to be racist, but am I correct?
