Madison Police Department responded to a call on the 100 block of State Street early Wednesday morning.

The suspect, a black male in his late 20s to early 30s wearing a skullcap and black jacket, caned a homeless man after accusing him of stealing some of his alcohol, according to the MPD incident report.

The victim, a 32 year old male, needed staples to close the wound that resulted from the caning. The victim explained to police that there was a third man sleeping nearby at the time of the incident and the suspect took the man’s cane and swung it at the victim’s head.
