A short time later, 6 girls apparently under the influence of alcohol and matching the descriptions given to police were stopped by police in an alley
Four of the teens were taken to jail pending transfer to other facilities with the 2 remaining girls released to their parents or guardians.
Searches of the scene of the alleged attack yielded evidence that included a knife, a hatchet, and a large, broken glass alcohol container.
