Seven police cars, an ambulance and a fire truck lined Gorham Street in front of the Equinox apartment building Thursday evening in response to a fight.
According to a police officer at the scene, the large number of people involved in the incident is what called so many officers to the building around 8 p.m.
UW-Madison junior Natalie Stong, who lives in an apartment across the street, said she saw a man in a red hooded sweatshirt being questioned in the Equinox lobby.
""He was surrounded by policemen and two firefighters,"" she said. ""[Then] he limped to the ambulance and was in there for a while.""
The ambulance ultimately left for the hospital, according to the police officer. No deaths resulted from the battery incident. It is unclear how many were injured.
