Four people beaten with baseball bats at Oceanside Harbor

OCEANSIDE, Calif. (FOX 5/KUSI) — Authorities are searching for two people who assaulted four people with baseball bats in Oceanside over the weekend.

One of the altercations happened around 8:50 p.m. Saturday at 1400 North Harbor Drive, where first responders found two victims suffering from head trauma, the Oceanside Police Department said in a news release Monday. The victims were taken to a hospital.

Witnesses told police two people with bandanas covering their faces beat several men with baseball bats. The assailants left the location before police arrived.

The assailants looked to be instigating fights with random people walking by, as well as targeting one bystander who was recording the incident on her phone and attempted to take her device, according to witnesses.

Following the first incident, another report confirmed two other victims being assaulted in the same area and in the same way, police said.

All the victims suffered serious injuries, including head lacerations and one with a facial fracture.

Anyone with information about the attacks is asked to contact Detective Sgt. Dave Estrada at 760-435-4698 or email DEstrada@oceansideca.org.
