Two Arrested For Assault Outside South Norwalk Bar [Update]

Police witnessed a person being punched in the head Wednesday morning outside a South Norwalk bar, resulting in two men being charged with assault.

At 12:42 a.m. officers reported encountering a group of approximately 15 people arguing outside the Ginger Man restaurant at 99 Washington St.

The officers said they ordered the group to move on, which is when one man punched another in the head for no reason.

The alleged assailant, Michael Ocampo, 23, of 25 Chapel St., reportedly scuffled with the officers, including pushing an officer in the chest. The officers eventually forced Ocampo to the ground and handcuffed him.

As Ocampo was being brought under control, officers said his friend, Juan Vangompel, 23, of 46 Carter St., New Canaan, came to his defense, attempting to prevent him from being taken him into custody.

The only information police could provide about the man punched in the head is that he is a resident of Washington Street.

Ocampo was charged with third-degree assault and interfering with an officer. He was held on $5,000 bond and given a court date of Sept. 1

Vangompel was charged with assault on a peace officer, interfering with an officer, and second-degree breach of peace. He was held on $25,000 bond and given a court date of Sept. 1.
