MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A University of Wisconsin fan faces charges for allegedly punching two Gophers fans in the face following this week’s basketball game between the two schools.
Twenty-two-year-old Francisco Rengel of Madison is charged with substantial battery and disorderly conduct.
Authorities say Rengel and his friends exchanged words with the victims in a bar after Wisconsin upset No. 14 Minnesota 68-60 Tuesday.
Officers say the argument escalated outside. They say Rengel hit a 24-year-old man 15 to 20 times, cutting his face and injuring his ear. They say the suspect also assaulted a 25-year-old, who needed stitches on the bridge of his nose.
WISC-TV quotes police as saying alcohol contributed to “a host of bad decisions being made.”
Rengel appeared in court with a public defender Thursday and was released from jail.
(It was originally reported by WISC-TV that Rengel was a Gopher fan and that he punched 2 Wis. fans.)
