Police suspect the assault occurred while he was returning home, and a stolen white Suzuki Vitara was seen fleeing the scene. Two teens, including a 15-year-old charged with driving and theft, have been arrested, but authorities are still investigating whether they were directly involved or just passengers in the car. Three others remain at large. Chief Inspector Dave Cockram called the injuries “pretty concerning” and emphasized the brazen nature of the attack, urging anyone with info to come forward as police push for justice.
