Details

Some trash talking between two groups that were walking on opposite sides of W. Johnson St. early Tuesday morning ended with a man from one group, and a woman from the other, walking into the middle of the street to faceoff with one another. Witnesses said the woman feigned a punch, and the man responded by delivering two real blows to her face. The second knocked her to the ground, with her head hitting the pavement. Officers were on the scene within minutes and found the victim seated, crying, and nursing a knot on the back of her head. The man who punched her, and the rest of his group, fled prior to police arrival.
