Police in Napa, Calif., say they are searching for one of two men accused of beating a woman at a bar earlier this month.
The suspect, identified as James Curtis Faulkenberry, punched the woman in the face and knocked her unconscious, the Bay Area's FOX 2 reported.
Faulkenberry is wanted on an active arrest warrant, police said. He faces two felony assault charges and a misdemeanor charge of disturbing the peace, the Napa Valley Register reported. A mugshot of Faulkenberry shows distinctive tattoos on his neck. Police said he should be considered dangerous.

The other suspect, identified as Juan Rojas, has turned himself in since the Nov. 17 incident and faces three felony assault charges, according to court records. He was being held without bail, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
The woman, identified as "Audrey," told San Francisco's KPIX-TV that she was playing pool at Stone’s Sports Bar & Lounge in Napa after 11 p.m. when the attack occurred. She said she tried to defend herself with a pool cue, but she went “blank” and “everything was kind of fuzzy for a minute,” after the two men attacked her.

“I was already in fight-or-flight,” the woman told the station. “I was already intimidated. I was already scared.”
Police said one suspect attacked and kicked the woman several times. Security camera footage of the bar’s exterior shows a man fly through the front doors with a woman under him falling to the ground.

“We didn’t go outside, we flew outside,” the woman said. “Like he threw me and landed on top of me. I went blank, I went black and everything was kind of fuzzy for a minute. I don’t remember everything.”
