(KAIR)--An Atchison man, accused of injuring another man during a Tuesday night fight, is facing legal consequences in connection with the altercation that sent the victim to the hospital.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, in a release, says officers, Tuesday evening shortly after 8:30, responded to a disturbance in the 700 block of S Street where they determined that two men, who knew each other, had been there at a residence when it occurred.

According to Wilson, the 30-year-old victim was transported by a family member for the treatment of injuries incurred during the fight, with Wilson saying the man had sustained head and facial injuries from being struck with fists and kicked.

An investigation launched when police arrived led them to 40-year-old Ryan White, who allegedly caused the injuries.

White was arrested for aggravated battery, and once in custody, was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
