Maplewood police are seeking the public's help in finding a man who brandished a gun during a bar brawl last week.

According to witnesses, two men were fighting late Friday at Bleecher's Bar, 2220 White Bear Av. N., when one of them pulled out a small silver gun and pointed it at the other.

Surveillance video, which captured the incident, shows that the suspect pointed the gun at other patrons while backing out of the bar.

Maplewood police were called to the scene shortly before 11 p.m.

Anyone with information on the identity or whereabouts of the suspect is asked to contact Maplewood police at 651-249-2600, or by texting the keyword "Maplewood," followed by the information, to Tip411 (847411). Information can be given anonymously.
