Police are investigating a serious assault that took place at Unity Park on March 21, where a 13-year-old boy was reportedly attacked by a group of juveniles.

According to the Greenville Police Department, four suspects have now been identified and charged following a detailed investigation led by juvenile detectives.

Officers were called to 147 Welborn Street around 7 p.m. after reports of an assault near the Commons Center area of the park.

Investigators say the situation started when the victim was chased by a group of four individuals.

In an attempt to escape, the boy ran into a restroom inside the facility, where he was then assaulted.

Police confirmed that the victim suffered multiple injuries as a result of the attack.

Following investigative work, authorities identified the suspects as two 15-year-olds and two 16-year-olds.

The Greenville Police Department stated that cooperation from the parents of the juveniles played a key role in resolving the case.

Officials also encouraged anyone with further information to come forward as the investigation continues.
