A Madison Area Technical College student and his female friend were attacked after he confronted a stranger about stealing a case of his beer from a house party on Mifflin Street Saturday night.
According to a police report, the Madison police responded to a residence in the 400 block of Mifflin Street around midnight after reports of a battery. The male victim reportedly stopped the suspect as he was leaving the house party because the stranger was carrying out a case of the victim's beer.
The stranger then put the beer down and punched the MATC student several times in the head. The victim's female friend then ran out of the house and confronted the perpetrator, wanting to know why he had punched her friend. The suspect then allegedly pushed the 18-year-old woman against a chain-link fence and slapped and kicked her.
The male victim suffered facial bruises and cuts requiring stitches, but the female victim was not injured.
The perpetrator is described as a 5'6"", 160-pound white male with short blond hair, wearing blue jeans and a gray T-shirt. His first name may be Chris.
