It is believed that the men were throwing bricks at each other. Although the police did not reveal any suspects, medics revealed that two of the three men had suffered minor injuries and refused to get treated.

There has been no word, as yet, from authorities on the level of charges the two men who escaped with minor injuries will face if they will be charged at all.

The critically injured man has been treated for his serious injuries at a nearby hospital.

The 13 car owners will sure have a hard time trying to figure out who was responsible for those unnecessary costs.
