CHICAGO (CBS) — A man is behind bars Wednesday, after a weekend brawl in the Lincoln Square neighborhood left a woman and her boyfriend hospitalized.

Jorge Hernandez, 28, was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and aggravated battery in a public place, police said.

The incident started late Saturday when Hernandez, of Irving, Texas, allegedly grabbed the woman’s buttocks in the 4500 block of North Lincoln Avenue, according to a police report.

The woman’s boyfriend found out, confronted Hernandez and they began to fight. During the brawl, Hernandez allegedly punched the woman and stabbed her boyfriend in the chest, the report said.

The block where the fight happened is among the busiest in Lincoln Square, and includes the Old Town School of Folk Music and several bars that keep people on the streets late into the night.

The man who was stabbed was being treated at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center. The woman suffered a swollen left eye and was taken to the same hospital.

Hernandez was arrested at 11:03 p.m. Saturday and taken to the Belmont District police station to be processed. He was transferred to Thorek Memorial Hospital for injuries he suffered during the fight, the report said.

Hernandez was booked into Cook County Jail on Monday after being ordered held on $200,000 bond, according to the Cook County Sheriff’s office.

      What, groping woman is a tradition in Texas?

      S.O.S.

        Are you some kind of idiot? Hernandez is a stupid Mexican.

    Pul, it’s better than having sex with your live stock like they do in your country. Jermain, he grabbed a girls ass. It’s not like he raped a girl, stuffed her in the trunk and then threw her lifeless body into a river like your people do. (doesn’t feel so good, does it)

    I’ve seen this first hand. It’s always over drawn and everyone acts innocent. The girl was probably flirting back and was caught by her boyfriend. She then acted innocent to steer his anger towards this guy. If I was being attacked, I would use all means necessary to defend myself. He obviously received a beating. Ask yourself. Would you go into a fight knowing this guy had a knife? Absolutely not! The knife may have come out after this guy was getting beat on.

    Have you ever thought of that scenario. Of course not because you like to jump to conclusions. You are the first to cast a stone and last to admit you were wrong. I hate people like you. Quit being stupid and naive. There’s always two sides of the story. You two should catch some sort of cancer and die.
