Two Detroit teens arrested in brutal attack

DETROIT (AP) — Two teenagers have been arrested in an attack on a suburban Detroit man who was beaten by a mob after accidentally hitting a boy with his pickup truck.

Police say the 17-year-old and 16-year-old males are believed to have played a direct role in the beating of Steve Utash, who is in critical condition.

Police believe at least six people were involved.  

A mob swarmed Utash as he was checking on the 10-year-old boy he hit with his pickup Wednesday on Detroit's east side. The boy's injuries were not life-threatening.

The case has outraged the public, clergy and elected officials. Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan called the attack "senseless." And a prominent pastor, the Rev. Horace Sheffield III, called on the public to go block by block to find the "heartless perpetrators."
