This story has been updated with the name of the bar where the assaults happened. The incidents took place outside Rush Street.

Two Ypsilanti men were arrested after they were accused of beating two people, including a 43-year-old woman, at an Ann Arbor bar early Saturday morning, police said.

Ann Arbor police Lt. Renee Bush said police responded at 1:56 a.m. Saturday to the 300 block of South Main Street after receiving reports that two men were punching a woman. A witness told police the 21-year-old and 22-year-old Ypsilanti men were calling the woman names and hitting her in the face and upper body, Bush said.

After assaulting the woman, the two men left the area. They later returned to the area, attempted to get back into the bar and reportedly jumped a 37-year-old man and punched him multiple times in the face, Bush said.

The incidents took place outside of Rush Street, Bush said.

The two men were arrested, and the detective bureau is investigating the incident, Bush said. It’s unknown whether the man and woman suffered any injuries during the assaults.

Anyone with information on this incident is encouraged to call the Ann Arbor police anonymous tip line at 734-794-6939 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800 SPEAK UP (773-2587).
