Bar Fight Leads to 4 Arrested in Danbury

Four Danbury men were arrested after a bar fight Tuesday.

The Danbury News Times said an argument at the Copacabana Cafe at 2 Ives St. led to an altercation between the victim and Jonathan Soto, 26.

Police said the victim tried to call for the police on his cellphone, but Soto slapped it out of his hand.

Two other men—Melvin Lesure, 25, and Christopher Fermin, 28—joined Soto in fighting the victim.

Lesure allegedly pulled a knife from his pocket but did not use it. It was hidden by the fourth man, Anthony Castillo, 23, in his car.

The charges for Soto, Lesure and Fermin include second-degree assault and second-degree conspiracy to commit assault.

The victim, the News Times said, was treated outside the bar for facial injuries, but did not go to the hospital.
