Police Break Up Second Fight in two Weekends Outside Rhythm Nightclub

A Bridgeport man was tasered after he refused to stop fighting, then arrested outside Rhythm nightclub at about the time the club closed early Sunday morning.

Ramel Louallen, 32, of 80 Asylum St., Bridgeport, was charged with third-degree assault and second-degree breach of peace.

Police gave this account of the incident:

At about 1:45 a.m., Louallen was punching and hitting another man in the face outside the club at 731 West Ave., and when police told him to stop, he refused. Police then used a taser on him, and he fell to the ground.

The man with whom he was fighting then ran off. Louallen was taken to Norwalk Hospital but was found only to have received some scrapes either during the fight or when he fell.

It was the outside the club, according to police reports. At almost exactly the same time the previous Sunday, when the club closed at about 2 a.m., police saw pushing and shoving among some people in a crowd of about 20 people in a parking lot outside the club. Police said two Bridgeport women were seen fighting each other, and a Norwalk man urged others in the crowd to fight the police. All three were arrested.
