Two victims from two separate fights in downtown Anchorage remain in hospitals tonight with serious injuries.
Around midnight a drunken fight broke out near Fourth Avenue and D Street between two groups of partiers.
Anchorage police say during the fight, 22-year-old Zachary Torres and 23-year-old Eric Nebreha punched and stomped on Matthew Layman's head.
Layman was taken to an Anchorage hospital with multiple skull fractures and serious internal injuries.
Torres and Nebreha, both of Anchorage, were charged with second- and fourth-degree assault.
The second fight, unrelated to the first, happened around 2:30 this morning.
Police responded to a man who was bleeding from his nose and ears after a fight on Fourth Avenue and E Street.
Witnesses told police that 22-year-old Chugiak resident Ryan Smith punched Vincent Mayer, 23, of Wasilla, in the face in front of Rumrunner’s Old Towne Bar and Grill.
Mayer was taken to a local hospital with head injuries and Smith was arrested for second-degree assault and misconduct involving a controlled substance.
Police also found cocaine in Smith's possession.
