Madison Police Department officers arrested UW-Madison student Michael Heard early Friday morning for battering a Wando’s bar bouncer, according to an incident report.
Heard, 21, had created a disturbance earlier in the evening and was kicked out of the bar located at 602 University Ave., according to the report.
However, he then attempted to re-enter the bar while smoking a cigarette, MPD spokesperson Joel DeSpain wrote in the report. When the bouncer tried to stop him, Heard hit him in the head.
The victim was able to hold the suspect down until police officers arrived at 12:59 a.m. and arrested Heard for substantial battery and disorderly conduct.
The downtown bar bouncer needed stitches to close the wounds he sustained from the blow to his head, according to the report.
