Langdon Street assault appears to be ‘random act of violence’

By Lawrence Andrea | Oct. 10, 2016

A 26-year-old Madison woman was assaulted on Langdon Street Oct. 9 at 1:20 a.m. by four to five suspects. The victim had been walking with her friend on the 200 block of Langdon Street when she was attacked from behind by a small group of women. “She was pulled to the ground where she curled up in a fetal position while being kicked and stomped,” Madison Police Department Public Information Officer Joel DeSpain wrote in an incident report. “The woman suffered bruises to her head and was checked out by [Madison Fire Department] paramedics.” A private security guard who witnessed the attack was able to alert nearby Guardian Angels, a group of unarmed citizen patrols who, according to their Facebook page, work “hand in hand with the government and law enforcement to restore and maintain safety.” The security guard and Guardian Angels chased the attackers away from the victim, and caught three of the five suspects, according to the incident report.

Warren, Feingold rally 1,000-plus at Overture Center

By Andrew Bahl | Oct. 9, 2016

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., visited Madison Friday in an effort to rally younger voters around Democratic Senate candidate Russ Feingold. Feingold, who is locked in a tight race with incumbent Republican Ron Johnson, appeared hand-in-hand with Warren in front of a packed crowd at the Overture Center. “I’m here because Russ ... is a champion of justice,” Warren told the assembled crowd of roughly 1,000. While the event was intended to promote early voting, the two also took aim at Johnson and Republican nominee Donald Trump. “The Ronald and the Donald show—don’t let it happen,” Feingold implored, with Warren calling the business mogul a “sleazeball.” “This is now Donald Trump's party, and the party now reflects Donald Trump," Warren said. Little has changed in the Senate race since the last time Warren visited campus a year ago.

The poll was taken prior to the release of Trump’s crude remarks regarding women.
