Security guard pushed through window

A Madison Public Library security guard was pushed through a glass window at the library on West Mifflin Street following an incident with a 42-year-old Madison man Friday.

Madison Police arrested Christopher Hubbard on tentative charges of second-degree reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct, among other charges. The guard suffered minor cuts and scrapes.

The suspect pushed the security guard backwards through an 80-by-36-inch glass window near the library's front doors, Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain said.

""Library staff and customers came to the guard's aid as the suspect continued to struggle,"" DeSpain said in a statement.

The suspect was previously banned from the library, but went to the library saying he had to urinate, police said. Library staff extended the suspect's ban for an additional month because he violated the previous ban, DeSpain said. The original ban was set to expire at the end of April.

""The news of the ban's extension set the man off,"" DeSpain said in a statement.
