A police officer who responded to a mob takeover at the Wisconsin State Fair Sunday night suffered a severely broken leg that required a tourniquet to control bleeding.
The officer, 46, was transported to the hospital with a severely broken lower leg that caused a major open wound, police scanner reports indicate.
Dozens of teenagers stormed the Spin City amusement ride area of State Fair Park shortly after 8:00 pm and multiple fights broke out as security guards and police officers struggled to keep order. Spin City was cleared out at about 9:00 pm, but the mob moved through the main park and continued to cause trouble, eventually making their way outside the park when State Fair closed down at 10:00 pm.
