A man has been arrested after police in Wisconsin say he dragged a woman into a hotel room and assaulted her.

The hotel manager called 911 after a guest said he saw a man drag a woman down the hall and into a room on June 22, according to a Madison Police Department incident report.

Officers spoke with the 23-year-old man and the woman, whose ages were not released, and discovered she was being “held against her will,” according to the release.
