Five or six suspects beat two victims with a chain early Monday
evening near Eighth and Old Gilroy streets in a gang-related
incident, police said.
Two known male suspects, ages 13 and 16, beat two other juvenile victims with a chain early Monday evening near Eighth and Old Gilroy streets in a gang-related incident, police said.
The victims were 12 and 13 years old, but despite the attack, just one sustained a small cut to the head. The other suffered injuries from kicking. Both received medical care, police said.
In a separate incident last Friday, a 25-year-old male was walking to a friend’s house near San Ysidro Park about 10 p.m. when an early 1990s model gray sedan containing four Hispanic males pulled up alongside him. One of the passengers emerged from the rear passenger door and tried to stab the victim in the stomach. The victim avoided serious injuries but sustained a one-inch cut to his right hand. He received stitches at Saint Louise Regional Hospital. Police said the incident did not appear to be gang related.
Two days before, though, two Hispanic males fled in a gray Toyota Corolla sedan after yelling gang obscenities at a victim walking along the 8100 block of Forest Street, toward the South Valley Middle School ball field. The victim ran away, but he dropped his wallet, which the suspects picked up, police said.
Then on Thursday, about 3 p.m., an unknown number of suspects jumped a juvenile female student outside the 7-Eleven on 10th Street and then stole her shoes. About 15 minutes later, two juvenile males beat up a 17-year-old male in front of the same convenient store, and police said that incident was gang related.
