The suspects with the bats tried to flee in their vehicle and subsequently struck another vehicle. They were apprehended shortly after.

The four - two adults and two juveniles - face a number of charges including second-degree assault, malicious mischief, minor in possession, disorderly conduct, and the driver also faces charges of driving with a suspended license and hit-and-run.

The adults were booked into Pierce County and Fife jails; the juveniles were processed and released to family.

In a separate incident that kept police busy overnight, a suspicious vehicle, possibly involved in prowling other vehicles in the Willowbrook development just off Angeline Road, got officers' attention shortly after 1 a.m.

The driver fled as police approached and a short pursuit followed before the vehicle crashed and the driver fled on foot. A K9 unit was able to locate the driver, who was then arrested.

The vehicle involved was later found to have been stolen.
