When Caleb tried to rescue the woman, the two other men bundled and roughed him up so badly.
In a commotion, one of the attackers rushed to a room in the upstairs where the rest of the assailants were having a merry-go-round meeting and were informed that one of their friends neighbour was being attacked.
They allegedly went downstairs, where they all joined hands in attacking Caleb, leaving him with injuries to the ribs and the head.
An informer who witnessed the whole brawl tipped the police who visited the scene and managed to arrest the four accused persons as the rest fled the scene after spotting the police officers.
