FARGO – One man is hospitalized and two others are behind bars following a fight that ended with a beer can to someone's face at an apartment in south Fargo, police said Tuesday.
Fargo police Sgt. Chris Nichtern said police were called about 10:50 p.m. Monday to a disturbance involving a machete in the 1300 block of Third Avenue South.
When they arrived, they found that an argument had erupted between a group of three friends and the person whose apartment they were visiting.
A man and a woman had begun to argue and a second man got involved, Nichtern said. The first man hit the other man in the face with a full can of beer.
The resident of the apartment had picked up a machete and kicked the group out of the apartment, and put up some resistance to police when they arrived, Nichtern said.
