Man threatened in Francis Street bar, attacked outside

UW-Madison police arrested a man on charges of battery and disorderly conduct outside a N. Frances Street bar Saturday.

The 40-year-old suspect, Darnell Montgomery, was arrested on tentative charges after a 22-year-old Janesville man was knocked unconscious outside the bar early Saturday morning.

According to the Madison Police Department's press release, the victim's girlfriend said "a couple of men" confronted her and her boyfriend inside the bar, then followed them out as they left.

Once outside, one of the men allegedly punched her boyfriend in the face and knocked him out, according to the release.

UW-Madison police officers helped locate the suspect, who was close to the scene.
