A local disc jockey's choice of music at a birthday party Downtown didn't sit well with the party hostess, who allegedly smashed the DJ's equipment, threw a glass at him and then fled before police arrived.

The discordant dustup happened early Sunday in the second-floor party room at Brochach Irish Pub, 7 W. Main St., Madison police said in a news release.

According to police:

The birthday celebrant, a 30-year-old man and friend of the hostess, boxed up the uncut birthday cake while the disc jockey dialed 911.

The 32-year-old disc jockey told police he wasn't exactly sure what he played that made the hostess so angry, but whatever it was, it certainly set her off.

"The DJ's laptop computer, headphones and microphone had been smashed, tossed or broken by the suspect," said police spokesman Joel DeSpain.

This happened after the hostess started yelling about the song selection.

"Partygoers were able to pull her away from the DJ's table after the equipment was damaged, but she broke free and rushed the DJ, punching and scratching him on the face," DeSpain said.

She was pulled away once again, but that didn't stop her attack.
