Benjamin J. Runde, age 30, MadisonVictim(s)
Male, age 25, Topeka, KSDetails
The MPD arrested a 30-year old Madison man following a substantial battery on State Street early Saturday morning. Witnesses said the suspect was outside in the 200 block trying to pick fights with passersby. A 25-year old Kansas man was punched once in the head and knocked unconscious by the suspect. After that, a 21-year old Cottage Grove man intervened. He battled with the suspect with the intent of stopping him from running as police were called. He was successful as the two were still actively engaged as police rolled up. Officers noted, upon arrest, that the suspect was acting strangely, and they could not determine why he had attacked the victim.Released 07/30/2012 at 12:11 PM by PIO Joel DeSpain
