OCEANSIDE, Calif. (KGTV) – Police are investigating a series of assaults near the Oceanside harbor Saturday night.

At around 8:50 p.m., officers responded to reports of an altercation involving several suspects. According to witnesses, two people with bandanas over their faces were observed attacking several men with baseball bats.

Before police arrived, the suspects fled the scene in a vehicle. Officers discovered two victims with head injuries who were transported to a hospital by the Oceanside Fire Department.

Witnesses said the suspects appeared to be picking random fights. A passerby who was recording the incident on her phone was also attacked when the suspects tried to take her device away.

Shortly thereafter, police received reports of two more victims with similar injuries who were being treated at Tri-City Medical Center. Although they were unrelated to the first victims, they were attacked in the same area by the same suspects.

All victims suffered significant injuries, including lacerations to the head and one with a facial fracture, police said.

Oceanside Police are currently investigating the incident and have located the suspect vehicle. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Sergeant Dave Estrada at (760) 435-4698 or via email. [email protected].
