A drunken brawl on the 400 block of West Dayton Street led to a man breaking his jaw and nose early Saturday morning, according to police.
While the 21-year-old Madison man could not remember the specifics of the incident, a witness told police the victim was engaged in a fight against another man, according to Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain.
The witness said both men were punching each other, although the victim never made contact with the other man, according to a police statement.
“The perpetrator had been with a group, but it appeared the victim was walking alone,” DeSpain said.
DeSpain said the witness stepped in to stop the fight when the suspect continued to punch the victim in the head after he was down on the ground.
Police describe the suspect as a 25- 30-year-old Asian male with a short black crew cut.
