A 24-year-old Madison man was injured Saturday after trying to break up a street fight that occurred in front of JD’s restaurant, according to a Madison Police Department incident report.
The victim, who also placed a call to the police, lost three teeth after an unknown assailant hit him in the mouth at the intersection of North Bassett and West Gorham Streets. He was then taken to a local hospital to be treated for the injury he sustained. The victim maintains he received these injuries while trying to break up the fight, MPD Lt. Eric Tripke wrote in the report.
Witnesses at the scene refused to provide any further information that would identify the suspect who struck the victim, and the victim was also unable to add a description in his statement to police. The fight involved approximately 15 men and women, according to the report.
