CINCINNATI -- A prominent Cincinnati restaurant owner is helping raise money to pay medical bills for a young woman badly injured by a thrown rock.
Jeff Ruby has announced that contributors will receive restaurant gift cards equal to their donations, starting at $25. The money will benefit 24-year-old Joyce Baresel of nearby Batavia.
She suffered severe damage to her head, and her skull is exposed pending future surgeries.
Ruby says Baresel and a friend had done the right thing by taking a taxi for a night on the town in June but then had a rock thrown at the cab.
A 16-year-old boy has pleaded guilty and must serve at least four years in juvenile prison.
Ruby owns The Precinct and Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse.
