Three men attacked a 21-year-old male downtown resident with a glass bottle on the 100 block of North Broom Street early Friday morning.
The victim said three white males, 18-to-24-years-old, approached him while he was walking with his girlfriend, according to Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain.
The three suspects struck the victim in the head with a glass bottle, punched and kicked him, police said.
During the fight, the victim fell to the ground and cut his arm on the broken glass bottle, according to DeSpain.
The victim went home following the attack, but he then decided to go to a hospital to receive treatment for the cuts on his arm, police said.
The MPD was not called until hours after the crime when the victim was at a hospital, DeSpain said in a statement.
Police said the victim told an officer he does not know of anyone who would want to harm him.
