Details

Madison Police were called to a Golden Leaf Trail home yesterday morning after a woman discovered her car tires had been slashed or punctured. Her 17-year old son had driven the car to the Elver Park fireworks the night prior. After the show, he said he was walking back to the car (the one that would later be vandalized) in the Hammersley Rd. area when he was jumped by known assailants. The teen said he has been in a dispute with another young man over a girl. He says he was knocked to the ground and kicked in the head and torso by several teens, including the one with whom he has been having conflict. He drove home and his mother took him to a hospital where it was determined that he suffered bruises and a slight concussion. The mother said the car's tires were fine when they returned home. She discovered the damage later in the morning. Suspects from the battery are at large.
