A fight instantly erupted after two 21-year-old men “accidentally bumped into” two other men outside of Lucky’s Bar on Regent Street early Saturday morning, according to Madison police.
“[The victims] didn’t want trouble and apologized for the contact,” Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain said in a statement. “Their words evidently fell on deaf ears.”
DeSpain said one of the suspects needed multiple stitches after the attackers allegedly “punched [both] in the head and knocked [them] to the ground.”
Using the victims’ and witnesses’ descriptions, a responding officer tackled one of the fleeing suspects, 19-year-old Jason Siebecker from Mauston, WI, who was seen wearing a pair of “distinctive black and white striped overalls,” according to the statement.
Siebecker denied having anything to do with the fight or the other suspect, according to police.
Police took Siebecker to Dane County Jail, where he was tentatively charged with battery, resisting arrest and underage consumption of alcohol, according to DeSpain.
