Battery at W. Gilman St. leaves Madison man injured

An assailant dislocated a man’s shoulder in a West Gilman Street parking lot early Sunday morning, according to Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain.

The stranger directed suggestive comments at the victim’s wife while the couple and other couples walked to their vehicles at approximately 3 a.m., according to the report. An argument and fight ensued.

The victim reported the suspect punched him in the face and threw him to the ground, DeSpain said. The victim believes others associated with the suspect joined the assault.

The original attacker also slashed one of the victim’s car tires, DeSpain said.

The victim was transported to a local hospital.

The assailants left in a car parked in the same parking lot. The main suspect is described as a white male in his 20s with a dark-haired ponytail, last seen wearing a black shirt and jeans, according to the report.
