OAK CREEK, Wis — Oak Creek Police are investigating a bar fight that left at least two people injured, while Franklin Police are searching for someone who fled the scene on a motorcycle.

Oak Creek Police say they responded to the Route 41 Bar and Grill shortly after 5 p.m. on Sunday for reports of a fight involving approximately 60 people.

Franklin Police responded to the scene to offer assistance, and upon the officers' arrival, police said a motorcycle was seen leaving the scene.
