Santa Ana fight leaves woman, 23, in serious condition

SANTA ANA, Calif.

At about 12:30 a.m., Santa Ana police officers responded to a report of an altercation at 400 North Broadway. That's where officers found a woman on the sidewalk who appeared to be unconscious.

Paramedics rushed the woman to a local hospital, where she was listed in extremely serious condition. Investigators said her injuries appear to be from a physical altercation.

Upon further investigation, authorities learned that the victim was waiting to enter The Crosby in Santa Ana with some friends when an argument broke out with another group of patrons. The argument eventually escalated into a physical fight.

"Two or three of the female suspects knocked her to the ground, were physically assaulting her and kicking her, and they fled the scene."
