Grendel killed one of Beowulf's men before trying to attack Beowulf himself. He suprised Grendel with a strong choke-hold. While fighting, they damaged the mead-hall extensively and Beowulf pulled Grendel's arm from his socket. The arm acted as another trophy for the mead-hall. Grendel killed many more of Hrothgar's men.
Grendel first encountered Hrothgar and his warriors during a feast in Heorot, their mead hall. Grendel attacked the warriors, killing many of them, which led to his ongoing feud with Hrothgar and the Danes.
