COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Division of Police is searching for a group of juveniles who reportedly attacked a teenage boy and his brother at the Linden Community Center earlier this month.
On Dec. 8, at 6:45 p.m., police said three teenage boys attacked another teenage boy at the community center in the 1300 block of Briarwood Avenue.
Detectives added that a teenage girl was with the teenage suspects and encouraged the incident while the group attempted to steal the victim’s shoes.
Police said the victim’s brother, who has a disability, attempted to help him and the group of juveniles began attacking him. The brother was repeatedly punched and kicked in the face, which caused him to have a seizure.

The victim and his brother were taken to a hospital to be treated for multiple injuries. The victims were 15 and 16 years old.
