IOWA CITY – Police responded to an assault in a popular Iowa City night club early Friday morning after a former Iowa basketball player allegedly punched a man in the face, knocking him down, and then blew the man a kiss as he left the bar.

Zach McCabe, a popular basketball player on the Iowa men’s team, turned himself in to the Johnson County Jail Friday. He later posted bond. His jail photo was never posted to the Johnson County jail roster web site. He was charged with assault causing injury, a serious misdemeanor.

Police allege in a complaint that a man interacted with police early May 16 outside DC’S Bar at 124 South Dubuque Street. The man had a cut and swollen face and told police hat McCabe had struck him. Police obtained video footage from the bar that showed McCabe striking the man as McCabe was arguing with a female. The victim was trying to separate McCabe from the woman. The man falls to the ground after the McCabe punch. McCabe is seen leaving the bar, but not before blowing the man a kiss.

Iowa coach Fran McCaffery released a brief statement on the incident.

“It is my understanding that senior Zach McCabe was involved in an altercation last night in Iowa City. After collecting all the facts, I will deal with this situation when I return next week.”

McCabe, from Sioux City, was a popular player for the Iowa Hawkeyes last season, as the team reached a top-ten ranking. He played in 40 games and used up his eligibility. The team bowed out of the NCAA Tourney in the first round.
