Details
A 19-year old Madison man said he was hit in the face with something "very hard" outside of a house party on E. Johnson St. early Sunday morning. He says the blow knocked him down, and that he next saw a "boot" coming toward his face. He then went unconscious. The victim said the battery happened as he went to help a woman who he thought was being physically assaulted by a man. A second victim went to help the first, and to also intervene in the situation with the woman. As he did so, he says he was jumped by "at least 4 guys." Both victims were taken to a hospital with head injuries. Witnesses said this was a large house party and that many underage people were in attendance. The mother of the first victim said he son's wallet was missing following the assault. Descriptions of perpetrators were not contained in initial police reports, and one officer noted that many possible witnesses were not completely cooperative or forthcoming with information that could aid in the investigation.Released 09/12/2012 at 10:48 AM by PIO Joel DeSpain
