An attempt to retrieve a lost cell phone resulted in police arresting three suspects who allegedly attacked three people in a fight Monday night.
Earlier in the evening, one of the victims realized he left his phone at a downtown bar, according to Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain.
When he returned to the bar, he could not find his phone. Police said a friend of his texted the phone and arranged to meet at North Lake and Park streets with the woman who found the phone in the bar.
At the meeting, the phone’s owner and two friends demanded she return the phone, according to police. The woman’s two friends joined in the fight, punching three victims and biting one of them.
The three suspects left by car with the victim’s wallet, but officers caught the suspects at Regent Street and recovered the phone and wallet, according to DeSpain.
