The instigator, whose name was not released, left the scene of the argument and came back with another person and the original suspect began assaulting the teen, the release reads. The teen attempted to drive away and while doing so, struck a 16-year-old boy who was riding his bicycle nearby, according to the release.
The teen drove a short distance away and called 911 to report the incident, according to the release. The cyclist was taken by a private vehicle to an area hospital, the release reads.
While the Flint resident was stopped and reporting the incident, the brother of the cyclist arrived on scene and “not knowing (he) had been assaulted earlier, punched (his) pick-up window and shattered it,” according to the release.
The incident remains under investigation.
