Transcript:
Lights are off in the park so witnesses can't see clearly. One witness said a suspect was on top of a hill. A second witness said two aggressors got into a white Toyota Tacoma. The male victim was lying in the grass and bleeding. He tried to get up but fell back down. The white Tacoma left westbound on Rio Salado. Witnesses said the suspects also stole from the victim. A plate check may come back to (name withheld) out of Oregon. Responders asked for fire/medical due to heavy bleeding from the victim's head. Witnesses later gave different accounts and said the suspects might be near Peter Piper Pizza. One witness described three suspects: one male with a beanie and a skateboard and two males with long hair, black shoes and white socks. The victim has cuts to the forehead and back of the head and is speaking coherently. Multiple units and medical were requested.
