Police are investigating a West Wichita bar fight that left one man in the hospital. The fight was reported at Hoots Bar near Douglas and West Street Saturday night.
Paramedics were first called to the scene around 9:30 p.m. after getting the report of a man who had collapsed inside the business. When firefighters got to the scene, they reported that the man was not breathing and began CPR.
Dispatchers say it was first thought that the man was suffering from some sort of medical condition, but patrons of the bar later told the firefighters that the man had been in a fight earlier in the evening. That's when firefighters called for police to respond to the scene.
Lieutenant Mike Hennessy says one man has been placed under arrest for the altercation until details can be sorted out. At last check, the victim was reported to be in potentially serious condition. Paramedics reported that he had no evidence of trauma to his body.
