Fight leaves Gainesville man seriously injured

GAINESVILLE - A Gainesville man was seriously injured in a fight Friday night.

Capt. Jeff Strickland of the Hall County Sheriff's Office says the incident involved several people and occurred outside a house in the 2400 block of Chicopee Street.

Capt. Strickland says deputies go the call about 8:00.

"Upon arrival, deputies found a Hispanic male that appeared to be seriously injured," Strickland said. "Fire and EMS personnel responded and treated the man on the scene before he was airlifted by helicopter to Grady Hospital in Atlanta."

Strickland said Saturday morning the victim was still at Grady and was in critical condition. He said no arrests have been made but investigators have some leads. The man's name was being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
