ATHENS, Ga. — The man accused of wearing a Nazi costume and hitting a woman with a beer mug outside an Athens bar in October has been indicted by a grand jury.
Kenneth Leland Morgan, 33 years old, was indicted on aggravated assault charges on Tuesday in Clarke County.
Video of the Oct. 23 fight outside Cutter’s Bar and Grill on East Clayton Street went viral.
It showed the man wearing the Nazi costume being confronted by patrons as he attempted to enter the bar. The disturbance spilled onto the sidewalk, where the alleged assault took place.
UGA student Grace Lang suffered extensive facial injuries and a concussion.

She said he hit her in the head again before being pulled away. Police arrested Morgan after he walked away.
“We are horrified by the actions of an individual, while in downtown Athens wearing a Nazi uniform, assaulted a female University of Georgia student,” a university spokesperson said in a statement at the time. “His actions caught on videotape are appalling.”
Morgan posted bond, but Lang said he is not allowed to be near her. He also was banned from the bar where it happened.
Morgan is scheduled for an arraignment on Sept. 15.
