A 33-year-old man faces battery and disorderly conduct charges after getting into a fight with members of the Guardian Angels who had stepped in to stop a fight on the 500 block of State Street early Sunday morning.

Police said Ralph K. Cohen, of Madison, was involved in a fight with two men outside of a bar. According to members of a Guardian Angels safety patrol, they saw the fight and escorted Cohen to the other side of the street.

Once to the other side, the man began verbally abusing the Guardian Angels, which he then followed up by throwing punches, police said.

Several Guardian Angels took the suspect to the ground and held him until police arrived, police said.

Cohen told the arresting officer he was drunk and didn’t know what happened, but that he ended up with a bunch of Guardian Angels on top of him.

A woman walking in the 100 block of South Bedford Street was mugged on Wednesday night, according to the Madison Police Department.

Police said the woman reported the crime, which occurred at about 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, on Thursday morning after the urging of her boyfriend.

The 19-year-old victim told police that a man grabbed her from behind and threw her to the ground. She said he put two fingers in her mouth, so she could not yell, and demanded money.

The woman gave the man her cash and he left, police said. She was not hurt, but her neck was a little sore, police said.

The black man was wearing a mask with a zipper over his face, police said.

Anyone with information about the mugging is asked to call Madison Area Crime Stoppers at 608-266-6014.
