Three people were charged with assault causing injury after an altercation last month.

Levi Sedlacek, 20, Courtney Young, 21, and Morgan Kremer, 20, were all charged on Jan. 1 with assault causing injury.

According to an Iowa City police report, another man was assaulted by the three individuals during an argument in a common-area hallway at 366 S. Clinton St. The man was struck several times and suffered a broken nose, a mild concussion, and a cut on his cheek, police said.

Sedlacek allegedly stated he punched the man to defend the two females and because he "didn’t like the look on [the alleged victim’s] face."

Assault causing injury is a serious misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in jail and a maximum fine of $1,875.
