Two teens attacked a city park ranger at the skate park in Central Park around 5:50 last night. The ranger was struck in the head with a skateboard and requested an ambulance. A second ranger followed the suspects to a nearby restroom where they attacked a citizen there. They then fled on the skateboards north on Paseo and then west on Mission View. Numerous officers flooded the area. Several witnesses pointed out to officers the track of the two teen suspects. One boy suspect was reported to be 17 years old and the other about 15. An alert sergeant located the suspects at 6:24 on Stevenson by the library. The two fled north on Civic Center into the Kaiser Hospital parking lot. A detective saw the teens, held them at gun point. The sergeant was there in short order to assist. They likely will be charged with a felony, assault with a deadly weapon (245 PC).
