Two Milwaukee men beaten in Lake Street parking ramp in drunken brawl

Madison police responded to a drunken fight that broke out early Sunday morning at a downtown parking ramp after two men were discovered on the second floor of the parking structure. 

 

According to a police report, officers arrived at 421 N. Lake St. just before 2 a.m. to find one man unconscious with a second man next to him.  

 

The first victim, a 21-year-old from Milwaukee, quickly recovered but was taken to a local hospital, treated and released. His 19-year-old friend, also of Milwaukee, did not sustain serious injuries. 

 

Neither victim was able to tell police officers what happened. They could only say the fight began with a group of four to five men and a verbal altercation. Police said both men were seemingly intoxicated. 

 

According to a witness, there were originally two groups of four to five men, but the scuffle came to an end when a private security guard arrived at the scene.
