Madison police are looking for two men who allegedly knocked a University of Wisconsin-Madison student unconscious early Thursday morning on the 200 block of Langdon Street.
A group of people out celebrating Halloween yelled at a driver after he almost hit a pedestrian crossing Langdon Street while speeding, according to Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain.
The two suspects, who police describe as 20- to 29-year-old black men, exited their car and began fighting with the group of bystanders, according to DeSpain.
DeSpain said the suspects “sound like people who were very confrontational to people who were otherwise just enjoying the holiday.”
Police said in a statement the 20-year-old student, who suffered a broken cheekbone and nose, remembers being hit in the head before losing consciousness.
Another UW-Madison student wrestled with the second suspect but remained uninjured, according to DeSpain.
DeSpain said the police department is investigating the “very serious incident.”
