Police break up bloody brawl

Two Costa Mesa residents got into a bloody fight Sunday afternoon

near a bus stop, police said.

The fight started on a bus as a verbal argument between

34-year-old Raymond Philhart and 50-year-old Martin Frawley, Costa

Mesa Police Sgt. Bob Ciszek said. The two men got off the bus at

about 2:20 p.m. on Wilson Street near Center Way and continued to

fight, Ciszek said.

Philhart hit Frawley in the face, cutting the man’s nose, Ciszek

said. Frawley’s wound bled profusely but he was not hospitalized,

Ciszek said.

Philhart was cited and released at the scene for assault and

battery, he said.
