Agawam mayor attacked at Max's Tavern

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - Mayor of Agawam Susan Dawson says she was viciously attacked by another woman at a restaurant in Springfield Wednesday night.

Springfield Police Sgt. John Delaney told 22News that police were called to Max's Tavern at The Basketball Hall Of Fame for a dispute between two women.

Dawson told police a 61 year-old woman from Longmeadow attacked her outside the women's bathroom -- pulling her hair, pushing her to the ground, and kicking her twice. She also told police she lost consciousness.

According to the police report, a busboy who tried to break up the fight was also scratched.

The woman who Dawson identified as her attacker left before police arrived.

Dawson was taken to Baystate Medical Center where she was treated for superficial wounds and released.

Sgt. Delaney says police know the identity of the other woman but they are not releasing her name at this time.
