NJ Man Critical After Del. Casino Fight
WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) -- Authorities say a New Jersey man is in critical condition following an argument over a seat at a blackjack table at a Delaware casino.
Delaware State Police say the 48-year-old Sewell, N.J., victim got into a fight with another man at the Delaware Park Casino in Wilmington about 11:30 p.m. Thursday. The victim and Edwin Mitchell of Wilmington continued arguing outside, where Mitchell punched the victim in the face.

The victim was taken to a hospital where he was in critical condition.
Mitchell was apprehended by casino security, and has been arrested and charged with assault.
