Madison police arrested four suspects who attacked several Wando’s staff members early Sunday morning in a bar fight that a city official called “absolutely perverse” and included an assault with a broomstick.
A Sun Prairie man was out celebrating the birth of his newborn daughter with three friends when Wando’s staff asked one of the extremely intoxicated group members to leave the bar after he fell off a barstool, according to Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain.
A fight broke out during which a suspect threw a recycling bin full of bottles down the stairs at staff members while another punched and threatened to shoot a bouncer, according to the report.
Another suspect beat the same bouncer in the head with a broomstick, according to police.
Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, said the fight was unusual because Wando’s is typically known to have a strict enforcement staff.
Although police usually patrol the area near Wando’s during the weekend, the altercation forced police to send additional squad and police on horses, according to Verveer.
