A Pleasanton man was stabbed in a fight outside Redcoats British Pub and Restaurant at 336 St. Mary St. on Jan. 4, although according to a police report he didn’t initially realize he’d been injured badly enough to require medical care.

At about 8:11 a.m., Saturday, Jan. 5, the victim, who’d been stabbed in the back, walked into the Emergency Room at ValleyCare Medical Center on Las Positas Boulevard. He told workers there he’d had been involved in a fight the night before and was stabbed.

The victim, 27, had sustained a single non-life-threatening stab wound to his back, described in a police report as minor; he was treated and released from the hospital.

The man told police he went to pick up his girlfriend who’d told him a male at the bar was harassing her. The victim arrived at the rear and an altercation ensued between him and the other male, according to reports. During the fight, the suspect pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim once in the back.

The suspect fled the area on foot and the victim left with his girlfriend, believing the wound was not serious. It was not until the next morning that he realized he needed medical attention.

Police had been called to the scene on a report of a fight in Redcoats parking lot at about 12:37 a.m., but police at the scene didn’t see a fight and couldn’t locate any witnesses.

It appears to be an isolated incident, according to police reports, but the investigation is continuing and anyone with additional information about the fight can contact the Pleasanton Police Department at 931-5100.

  1. Has Redcoats become another draw for out-of-town roughians? I guess Club Neo is the bar for gunfighting in the parking lot; now Redcoats is the one for stabbing?

  2. Pleasanton has been fighting so hard to get a downtown nightlife. Looks like they are starting to get it. Stay tuned for more drunks, drugs, and violence.

  3. Shut it down, it took a long time go get rid of the Bars, now we have Red Coats, I wouldn’t spend a nickel in the place, it has become a hangout for the Raider Nation crowd.

  4. I’ve been to Redcoats a couple of times. It was hardly scary. It was a bunch of cougars looking for dates. I enjoyed a Trivia Night or two there. I’d hardly call it “seedy”.
