MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Charges have been filed against two Illinois men who allegedly beat up a suburban Milwaukee man after a Brewers' loss to the Chicago Cubs at Miller Park.
The Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office says 25-year-old Adam Miechle (MEE' chall) and 26-year-old Jerry Emert were charged Friday with substantial battery. Both men are from Downers Grove (Illinois).
Authorities say the men repeatedly punched a 24-year-old man who threw an energy drink can at their bus Tuesday night after the game. The victim suffered serious facial injuries and a lost tooth. He was cited by police with disorderly conduct.
A third Illinois man arrested after the brawl was not charged in the complaint.
