Fort Hays State University police witnessed a group physical fight near an alleyway north of West Seventh Street and east of Park Street, according to Fort Hays State University Police.

At 1:53 a.m. on June 1, the FHSU officer at the scene activated the patrol car's lights and siren, parked in the alley and informed Hays police of the developing situation, according to FHSU Police Chief Terry Pierce.

As the officer approached the group involved in the fight, several individuals fled the scene on foot while one person was ordered to remain with the FHSU police officer, Pierce said.

After Hays Police officers arrived to provide additional assistance, they were unable to locate the unidentified suspects. No one sought medical attention at the scene and no arrests have been made, Pierce said.

The incident remains under investigation, he said.
