Two men allegedly started a parking lot fight with three young people from Hays.
Hays Deputy Police Chief Tim Greenwood said 26-year-old Chase Hartman of Victoria and 42-year-old Jake McDiffett of Alta Vista face alleged charges of battery and aggravated endangering a child.
Greenwood said the alleged altercation occurred at 7:45 p.m. July 28 in the 3300 block of Vine Street, involving the two men and an 18-year-old man with two male juveniles ages 16 and 17.
Greenwood did not release the parking lot in which the fight allegedly occurred.
Greenwood said Hartman and McDiffett allegedly initiated the physical fight after a verbal dispute with the younger group. Officers arrived to find the parties still fighting, resulting in both men's arrests.
