ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - University of Georgia police are looking into
a visiting student's claim he was held captive at a fraternity
house after getting into a fight in an Athens bar.

Police say the 18-year-old Clemson University student had
multiple cuts and a swollen right eye when they found him in the
street outside a fraternity house early Sunday morning.

Officers say the student told them he was held against his will
in the basement of the house and was assaulted.

Emergency medical personnel checked out the man's injuries, but
police say he did not want to be taken to a hospital. Police have
not identified the student.
