SOUTH BEND — South Bend Police say an argument between a group of people spiraled out of control when a man was hit by an angry driver.

It happened in the 800 block of North Johnson Street about 11:20 p.m. Monday.

A group of people were fighting when police say one person got in a car and hit a man. The victim was hit in the legs, suffered some cuts and scrapes but refused medical treatment.

The car that hit him was then hit in the driver's side door by another person’s car. Neither driver was injured in that crash.

There was no immediate word on arrests as police continued their investigation.

Tim, Could you possibly properly educate yourself. The raid to which you refer was NOT done by SBPD it was done by State Excise PD. Maybe you need to know your facts before you spout off.

This drivers are always nuts. they dont know how to act in front of a lot of people. I dont know if the road or the drunks that cut their way around are to blame. But all them drivers are crazy specially if they drink with a bunch of lunatics. After the party there will always be a fight. I wish someone will teach this drivers to behave themselves and act rationally. Listen to other people and do not cause trouble for pedestrians. If you cant act properly go straight to jail and stay there.

I saw them people fighting in the bar down the street and no body said something about it. This people should all be hold up in jail for a night and then make them pay 500 dollars each for causing trouble to neighbors who need to sleep and the noise is so hard and the lowd music. We work everyday you know, and need to get up early to get to our jobs. But this people, in the street are causing so much problems for all of who need peace and mostable sleep. Craby people are the sleplessness who

Are the leaders of our proud city going to let it go down the same path Gary did 25 yrs ago, and Elkhart has been going down the past 5 yrs? Time to clean the streets of these jokers..... But no. The South Bend Police Dept is too busy worrying if a few underage Notre Dame kids are drinking beer. Time to get priorities straight around our town. I know for a fact that there is major crime in our city that doesn't even get reported. Don't rely on the news to let you know what's going on in your cit

Good old Fun on the West Side. At least they are not shooting each other. If they want run each other over, they hurt no one but themselves. When are Mayor Lueckloser and the Police going to realize they are losing the battle for Law & Order...
