Three Chibougamau residents were put in the hospital after a fight with some Crees outside the Super Club Le Vegas bar after closing time a month ago.

One man spent a day in a coma with a broken jaw. Another had his nose broken.

The SQ in Chibougamau hadn’t heard of the incident. A police officer in Ouje-Bougoumou said the three hospitalized men didn’t file a complaint with the police. He didn’t know if the fight involved residents of his community: “We don’t have any evidence on that.” Another source said the fight started after the three men had made derogatory comments about Crees.
