Two Harvard freshmen were attacked by two teenagers at the Straus-Lehman gate to the Yard at 11:30 p.m. last night.
One was knocked out but regained consciousness at the Health Center about ten minutes later.
James M. Holloman '69 and George B. Meszoly '69 had just entered the Yard when Meszoly, who was walking five feet ahead, heard a thud and turned to see his roommate fall to the ground.
Meszoly fought with the attackers for a moment, but the two fled when the police, responding to his shouts, arrived.
According to Meszoly, the teenagers had taunted them in Brigham's a few minutes before the attack.
Holloman was admitted to the Health Center for observation. Meszoly was shaken in the fight but unhurt.
Cambridge police said early this morning that they were investigating the incident.
