A 23-year-old Madison man went to a local hospital Friday morning to be treated for injuries after being punched multiple times the night before, according to Madison Police.
The victim told police he was out downtown drinking Thursday night with a friend and his friend's roommate, Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain said.
""On the way home, there was some dispute and the victim challenged his friend to punch him in the face,"" DeSpain said in a statement. ""It was a dare.""
The victim's friend then punched the victim, police said. The victim told police another man, who was not offered to punch the victim, then hit the victim multiple times, sending him to the pavement, DeSpain said.
The victim said he didn't realize how much pain he was in until he was sober the next morning, police said.
The victim was treated at a local hospital for facial cuts and a potentially serious eye injury.
