Police said that what started as a fight at a bar may have ended with an 18-year-old Clemson student being held against his will in the basement of the Chi Phi fraternity house at the University of Georgia in Athens.

The incident happened at about 3:30 a.m. Sunday, police said.

According to an incident report, an officer saw Stephen Spaseff run into the road in front of the frat house. The report said that Spaseff was yelling for someone to help him. Spaseff was crying and appeared to be very intoxicated and incoherent, the report said. It said Spaseff had multiple cuts and a swollen right eye and his clothes were wet and dirty.

Police said that Spaseff told investigators some people "messed him up."

A representative from the University of Georgia said that details as to what exactly happened and where Spaseff was injured are not clear.

"There was a fight outside a bar downtown around 2:30 a.m.," said the representative. "A young man ran into the street in front of the Chi Phi fraternity house seeking help because he was injured as to where the fight occurred and where the injuries occurred. That's all part of the police investigation."

According to the police report, Spaseff said that after an altercation at the Roadhouse Bar downtown, he was held against his will in the basement of the Chi Phi fraternity hall, where he was not allowed to leave and was physically assaulted.

So far, no arrests have been made. The victim, the suspect and a cast of other people named in the police report were unavailable for comment.
