MASON CITY – A Monday afternoon brawl on North Federal left a woman with injuries, and police said Monday that one arrest was made.
According to witnesses, the incident took place at about 2:11 PM at the 800 block of North Federal Avenue near the Casey’s General Store.
“As we pulled into MC there was a fight right in the middle of the road in front of us,” A North Iowa woman said.
The large brawl apparently made the woman and her friend think twice about continuing north on Federal, so they made a detour… but couldn’t resist circling around to see what might happen next.
“So instead of becoming part of the fight we turned and went around the block and missed most of it,” the witness said.
They did manage to take a few pictures of the people involved in the fight, and offered them to NIT as part of this story. They claimed a woman was injured as the fight raged.
“One of these guys knocked a girls teeth out,” she said.
The witness told NIT that “everyone scattered when the cops came” but some lingered and were speaking to police once things quieted down.
On Monday, police reported to NIT that a female called police and said she had been assaulted by a known male in the 800 block of North Federal, Sunday afternoon. Police arrived, and after an investigation, Anthony Ray Green Jr, age 24 of Mason City, was arrested for Serious Domestic Assault.
“The citation mentions injury to her ear and abdomen,” a police spokesman said. “It’s not clear if the incident began with the male and female or the males. Some bystanders may have also intervened.”
Looks like they’re all hard working citizens at 2 in the afternoon
It was Memorial Day. Most of us weren’t working. And, if this involved white people, most of you would be saying the guy that punched him was a hero for stopping a man from beating a woman.
Looks like there was a white woman involved so don’t bring race into it
I think he did the right thing. Just not the scene that they made standing in the street.
Sounds like the guy who stopped the beating of the woman might be a hero.
Another upstanding property owned by the Hardy family. What happened to Mason City’s disorderly property law that was to deal with renters like this.
Send them down south for me to play with me. Sheriff Pals ought to be like me and put the hammer on these mugs.
For you to play with you? You going to play with yourself? Probably shouldn’t advertise that.
I hope the cops come down on these people hard. We don’t need this kind of crap. People should not be afraid to go to the north side of Mason City!
Put some chamber of crap art work up there. You know the price of scrap iron is high right now.
@Anonymous-That would give them something to hit eachother with.
Stay classy Mason City.
The guys started fighting after the one guy started beating up on the woman. I’m just glad she had someone immediately there to defend her ’cause he hit her really hard multiple times.
Thank you for this information.
Glad to see the council wants to give money to fix up the north end with this kind of disturbance going on. I am sure Hickey and Bookmeyer will move their families up there next to these people causing the problems. Why wasn’t anyone arrested? I am not sure LVS if your statement about bringing people from Chicago is true but I wish it would stop if it is.
It seems there may have been one arrest. Checking on it…
@RU-They may not all be from Chitcago but I bet some are and the rest fro Detroit. It is going to be a long summer. There are fights at least once a week on Monroe and all you have to do is look at the pictures to know where they came from.
@RUKidding-Cont.-It is to late to stop it now. They are already here. We had enough problems with our home grown thugs without bringing in more.
Welcome to Mason City-We sent our new residents from Chitcago just to make you feel safe and wanted.
Look at the bigger picture LVS. How are these imports going to vote? I’m guessing Democratic. And if this is happening all over the country? I’m just saying.
I really doubt that these guys are community minded and take the time to vote.
