One man ended up in a local hospital early Sunday for head trauma after engaging in an argument with a group of men on State Street that turned violent.
The 22-year-old Lyons man and 23-year-old Madison man told police they came across two other men on the 400 block of State Street before the two groups broke out in an argument, according to Joel DeSpain, public information officer for the Madison Police Department.
One of the attackers punched the Madison man in the face after the argument escalated, leaving him with a bloody nose. The Lyons man was knocked unconscious and taken to a hospital for his head injuries at approximately 2:30 a.m., according to DeSpain.
The Lyons man told police he had been drinking that night and neither victim could give clear descriptions of their assailants.
Police could not comment on what triggered the argument.
