Two Madison men were arrested early Thursday morning after beating a 40-year-old man with pool cues.
Police said the victim suffered significant facial injuries and was punched, knocked to the ground and stomped on.
According to Madison Police Department Spokesperson Joel DeSpain, when officers arrived they found pool cues, tipped over bar stools, beer bottles and a container of ice.
The victim "believes he was attacked because he is seeing a woman who used to be in a relationship with one of the suspects," DeSpain said.
Police said the victim said he would find his own way to medical care.
"[The victim] admits he also delivered blows to the suspects," DeSpain said. "One was transported to a hospital for treatment of a cut ear and broken hand before being booked into jail."
