Students use pitchfork, machete to fend off vandals by Langdon

Madison police responded to a call early Tuesday morning about a scuffle in which pitchforks and knives were drawn to stop vandals from ruining a tent near a fraternity on the 200 block of Lakelawn Plaza near Langdon Street.

Madison police spokesman Mike Hanson said the fight started because residents of ACACIA fraternity spotted vandals attempting to tear down a tent in front of their house. The ACACIA house, 222 Langdon St., is in the vicinity of the area, but no one confirmed it was in fact ACACIA property being vandalized.
