Fight on Ward Street
Nelson Police received multiple calls to report a fight in progress in the 500 block of Ward Street, between Baker and Victoria Streets, on Saturday, January 5 at 5:45 p.m.
The two men engaged in the fight went through a nearby window, though neither were seriously hurt by the glass.
Police took both men into custody. They both alleged the other had started the fight.
The incident is still under investigation. There were numerous witnesses with differing stories.
