Police are currently investigating an incident involving three male juveniles who allegedly assaulted three people and tried to rob one of them as well.<\/p>\n

In the report, Department of Public Safety acting public information officer Captain Pete C. Muna said that according to the male victim, the suspects started a fight. One of the suspects, who had a stick on hand, started hitting the three while another grabbed one of the female\u2019s purse and tried to pull it away.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe victims [fought] back and at the same time yelled for help,\u201d Muna said. \u201cThe victims finally managed to run away from the suspects.\u201d <\/p>\n
The victims suffered moderate injuries, including pain on the head and bruises. <\/p>\n
ASSAULT VICTIM SUSTAINS FRACTURED SKULL<\/p>\n
The man who was severely hurt after a fight last Friday at the Dai-Ichi Hotel parking lot sustained a fractured skull on the right side of his head, according to a police report released Monday. <\/p>\n
The report said the victim, 32-year-old Luciano Silvestre Ortiz, is paralyzed on the left side of his body.<\/p>\n
According to the report, the victim had a big lump on the right side of his head and had no \u201csensation\u201d on the left side of his body, prompting a CAT scan. <\/p>\n
Department of Public safety acting public information officer Captain Pete C. Muna said a doctor at the Commonwealth Health Center determined that the injury to Ortiz\u2019s head was caused by a blunt object. Unconfirmed reports had it that the suspect used a bat in attacking the victim but the suspect had denied this, saying he used his bare hands.<\/p>\n
Muna said a female witness indicated that the victim first approached her as she was about to walk to her car in the parking lot. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe victim asked her who is her boyfriend was and she replied that she didn\u2019t have anyone,\u201d he said. \u201cThe witness went to her car and the victim followed her.\u201d <\/p>\n
According to Muna, the witness said the suspect, 38-year-old Edgardo Agno Palma, was already standing by her car when they approached. <\/p>\n
\u201c[Ortiz] asked [Palma] if he is the woman\u2019s boyfriend and [Palma] asked the victim what his relationship with the woman was,\u201d Muna said. \u201cDuring this line of questioning between the suspect and the victim, a fight took place.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
