ATLANTA (AP) - Two colleges in Georgia are being sued, accused of failing to provide adequate security at a homecoming celebration two years ago where several people were injured.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported five people have sued Morehouse and neighboring Spelman colleges, where an attorney says a scuffle started in a crowded tailgating area. Attorney Robert Eisner said those responsible for the injuries were never identified.

Eisner says there was no security at the event. He said his clients had medical bills of $76,000.

Morehouse said in a statement it will not discuss active litigation. Spelman also refused to comment.

The newspaper reported the lawsuit comes just days after two Morehouse students were robbed during the 2018 homecoming events.
