Two men allegedly drinking, then fighting, ended up in the hospital with one of them charged with assault causing gross bodily injury, local sheriff’s deputies reported.

Both men were found bloody and cut, but one of the men suffered a ruptured left ear drum, according to a report filed by deputies of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station and logged in the station’s incident report.

On Thursday, shortly after 8 p.m., deputies received reports of an assault on Castaic Road, in Castaic, the report states.

Deputies interviewed both men and one witness.

The witness told them that “while he was driving to work he saw two men arguing.”

He said he saw one suspect enter the trailer of the other.

The man who later suffered the ear injury told the witness to call the police.

Both men were taken to Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital, deputies noted in their report.

Both were treated and released that same day.

Charged is Dana Cameron Duffy, 57, who was identified by deputies as a transient.

An article published Sunday about a Thursday fight? Oh, I am so shocked!

Breaking News!

The teletype machine probably wasn't working.

I would love to apply for a spot as a reporter with The Signal. Research stories via the internet or calling the Sheriffs, and then write and pretend you were at the scene interviewing people.

Still don't know how you would hear a rooster crowing though.

Or the fax machine was out of paper. Or someone was on a 3 day bender or a 5150 hold. I do not think they talk to anyone or research anything.

At this point, shouldn't this story be listed in the "This Date In History" column?

The injuries sound pretty "gross" to me! :)

Code4 - We need someone to go undercover and report back to us what is really going on at the Signal.........see Top Jobs section - no reporter jobs, but they do have an opening or two.......

I think the newsroom is a cage of chimps with typewriters. Don't make them mad or they will throw their poo. --edited.
