But the 21-year-old suffered "deep wounds to his derriere" when he pushed his behind against the window of a restaurant and it broke.

In a statement issued Tuesday, police said they detained the three men after Sunday morning's incident. But the cafe owner decided not to press charges after the men agreed to pay for the broken window.

The injured man was treated for his injuries at a hospital.
