The man told police he was asked to leave the party, which was not held on the Middle Tennessee State University campus, but when he began to walk toward the exit, multiple fraternity members jumped him, according to an incident report filed with the Murfreesboro Police Department a few days after the attacked occurred.

The Martin Methodist College student fled the scene with a family member and sought medical treatment at Lincoln County Hospital for injuries sustained during the fight. Doctors then transferred the man to Vanderbilt Hospital for surgery to fix two broken bones in his jaw.

On Wednesday, detectives said they believe the suspect may be a member of the fraternity but have not yet determined his identity, and they are hoping someone will come forward with information to help solve the case.

The suspect is described as a 20-year-old white male who is 6 feet tall and weighs 240 pounds.
