Authorities have arrested four men and two women, all in their 20s, on charges of attempted murder in the attack that left a 17-year old Kurdish-Iranian hospitalized with a fractured skull and a blood clot on his brain. They are searching for witnesses and asking the public to come forward with information. Police say eight youths approached the teen at a bus stop Friday night. The attack only stopped after bystanders intervened and police sirens could be heard. Upon learning he was an asylum-seeker, they chased him through the streets and beat him.
