Two youths, ages 16 and 17, have been arrested for punching and kicking a person in Redwood City, breaking some of the victim’s teeth, police said.
On Friday just after 7 p.m., officers responded to a call about two guys in masks punching and kicking a person at Cedar and Stambaugh streets.
The suspects fled in a white pickup truck, but witnesses were able to get its license plate number.
The victim, meanwhile, was taken to a hospital after suffering several injuries, including broken teeth.
A Be On The Lookout, or “BOLO,” alert went out to law enforcement agencies. By 7:10 p.m., the white truck was picked up on a surveillance camera on Crestview Drive in San Carlos, police said.
A San Mateo County sheriff’s deputy soon spotted the truck and detained two suspects from Redwood City, aged 16 and 17.
The juveniles were transferred to the county Youth Service Center on suspicion of felony assault, according to Redwood City police.
Anyone who may have information helpful to this case is encouraged to contact Redwood City police at (650) 780-7100.
