A 23-year-old Madison man reported being attacked on the 900 block of Spring Street early Sunday morning, according to Madison Police Department Spokesperson Joel DeSpain.
The man reported being punched in the head multiple times by several men and initially thought the attackers took his cellphone at approximately 2:15 a.m. He later found the phone in a coat pocket, according to the report.
The victim contacted the MPD at 10 a.m. Sunday to report the battery that had occurred hours earlier. According to the report, the victim said he was walking home while intoxicated when the men confronted him.
The man was unable to give MPD a detailed description of his assailants, but he did say they were Caucasian and in their early 20s.
The report did not indicate if the victim was a University of Wisconsin-Madison student.
