A bloody ambush robbery of a Life Time Fitness member in an Eden Prairie locker room left the man badly beaten, and one of his two assailants unleashed a similar attack on a resident in a randomly chosen home in the city about an hour later, according to charges filed Tuesday.
Arrested and charged in the Sunday attack at Life Time Fitness were Dalal B. Idd, 18, of Eden Prairie, and Kamal E. Maqadin, 26, of Shakopee. Both remain jailed pending appearances Wednesday in Hennepin County District Court.
The fitness center victim was punched repeatedly Sunday afternoon by Idd and left “barely conscious” on the floor of the downstairs locker room with cuts to his face, a broken nose and eyes that were swollen shut, the complaint said.
Entry for club members, guests and potential new members is allowed only at the check-in desk. The employee at the check-in area “attempted to have these people wait, and they did not,” Thunstrom said. The staffer followed security procedures and notified the rest of the staff in an effort “to find these individuals and notify authorities,” the spokesman added.
But the two “clearly did not” waste any time carrying out the attack, Thunstrom said. “They were bound and determined to commit such an act.”

Seriously.
Don’t go anywhere you cannot go armed. Really.
Such nice Lutheran names, too!
Who would've ever suspected?
Looks like this one may be a Sons of Baraq/ROP twofer!
Two more feral dogs
Well, maybe they did the man a good turn...
A new conservative / former liberal, mugged by the reality that his worldview was WRONG.
Probably not bad advice: Another story this week from another MN Gym.
“On Sunday, city police responded to a call involving 10-15 people fighting at the gym’s Cleveland Avenue location. It started all on the basketball court over a call and escalated, moving into the main fitness area.
“People were actually throwing two and a half, five, 10 pound weights within the building,” said Police Lt. Lorne Rosand.”
I don’t give a rat’s ass if it’s racist, both of these clowns deserve the Toby treatment from “Roots.”
i wonder what jail time, if any, they will get. whats the sentence for those crimes in that state/?
There go the Amish again...
Does make you wonder what their immigration status is.
I live a few blocks from there. This is really out of character for the neighborhood.
This is all very confusing. Even I am not sure if what they did is a crime anymore? Perhaps Idd and Maqadin are the real victims here. It’s hard to tell since we’re not told whether the two men who were beaten were in some protected class or not.
EP has become yet another Somali cesspool. Friend of mine is looking to move away.
EP is the latest hunting grounds for the Somalis.
This is what “Minnesota Nice” gets us. We can’t be nice to everybody. We need to stop bringing in these awful immigrants from Somalia, etc.(if that’s the case—but how can it NOT be with names like those).
I have to rope, you find the tree.
