Participants in two roving bachelor parties came to blows at a Carver County bar in a fight ignited by a man in one group shoving a woman in the other, authorities said Monday.

The toll from the brawl early Sunday at the Down South Bar & Grill in New Germany stands at two men wounded and hospitalized -- one with stab wounds -- and a 21-year-old Twin Cities man in jail, said Chief Sheriff's Deputy Blair Anderson.

"The two groups were overserved [alcohol], clearly," Anderson said. "Something minor like a shove turned into something way worse. It was 'Don't push my girlfriend,' that sort of thing."

Anderson said the two groups came into New Germany on party buses, and there is no indication that they were traveling together.

After the woman was pushed, members of her group came to her defense, leading to several fights, he said.

The man in jail is suspected of second-degree assault in the knifing, Anderson said. Another person suffered cuts to his face. The injuries are considered non-life-threatening. A knife was recovered at the scene.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 952-361-1212 or 952-361-1231.
