Police were dispatched to 1st & Main in Dubuque at around 8pm Saturday. Police learned that Warnecke had entered the bar and went to the bathroom for several minutes. He exited the bathroom with a razor blade in his hand and took a swipe at the backs of 27 year old Alex Bradley of Milwaukee, and 25 year old Drew Lattner of Dubuque.
