BANGOR, Wis. (WKBT) — Multiple law enforcement agencies responded to Bangor this morning for reports of a masked man attacking people in their homes.
According to Bangor’s Chief of Police Scott Alo, a woman in the Otto Bossard, Hattan street area called the Police Department at about 11:00 a.m. this morning reporting that a masked man entered her home and choked her until she passed out.
The man was gone when she woke up.
After responding, officers learned a man matching the same description attacked another man in a residence just down the street.
