Details

A 21-year old Madison man was taken by ambulance to a hospital early Sunday morning following a battery on Regent St. The victim, who likely suffered a broken nose, said he was walking with friends when they encountered a stranger who made unwelcome remarks toward a woman who was with the victim's group. The victim asked the man to leave them alone. For this, he was punched in the face. A good description of the suspect was provided, and he was located by responding officers in the 1600 block of Monroe St. He claimed he threw the punch because the victim called him a racial epithet. The victim denied this, saying the word in question is not one he would ever use.
