Teen hospitalized after fight, no current suspects

 A 17-year-old boy was hospitalized in intensive care Sunday afternoon after he was kicked in the head by a group of youths, according to Bloomington Police Department reports.

The alleged beating occurred Saturday, said BPD Sgt. Pam Galdish, reading from a police report.

The events started Saturday morning when a 14-year-old boy was confronted by the suspect as he was walking home from the skating rink. He said he then went home and told a 17-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy about the event that occurred on his walk home, according to the report.

The 16-year-old and 14-year-old boys then went to confront the suspect about the earlier incident. The 16-year-old hit the suspect, which turned into a fight that was broken up, Galdish said.

Later Saturday evening, the three boys went to a grocery store where they saw a group of boys that included the suspect who allegedly confronted the 14-year-old boy. A fight occurred after the suspect whistled, and more boys appeared at the scene, according to the report.

During the fight, the 17-year-old boy was allegedly kicked in the head by the suspect. The fight was broken up, and the 14-year-old and the 16-year-old took the 17-year-old home, Galdish said.

On Sunday, the 17-year-old boy complained to his parents of headaches and told them about the fight. The parents took him to Bloomington Hospital at 11:43 p.m. on Sunday, where BPD officer Ben Burns gathered the report. The boy was also scheduled for surgery.

The BPD is still investigating the case, and no one has been arrested in connection to the fight.
