A 50-year old Madison man said he was standing at the corner of N. Frances St. and University Ave., holding onto his bicycle, early Saturday morning, when a group of young men approached. One grabbed his bicycle and said he was going to steal it. The victim got into a tug-of-war with the would-be robber and was able to maintain possession of his bike; however, while doing so, he was punched multiple times in the face by the stranger. He yelled that he was calling police, and the group fled.Released 09/04/2012 at 9:11 AM by PIO Joel DeSpain
