Detectives will be investigating further an incident that occurred in Centralia last night where it appears two men – either walking down the street or riding bicycles – were jumped by a group of people from two vehicles.

At least three people were hurt and apparently broken beer bottles and maybe a bat was involved, according to the Centralia Police Department.

Officers got a report just after 11:30 p.m. there were several people fighting near the 700 block of G Street, and when they arrived, they found a 30-year-old and a 24-year-old injured with cuts to their faces and legs, according to police.

The men said they were riding their bikes and two vehicles drove past, throwing beer bottles at them and calling them tweekers, Officer Buddy Croy said.

The men yelled back, the vehicles drove around the block and then got out and started a fight using broken beer bottles, according to a police summary of the incident. One of the two men admitted he stabbed two of the males who attacked them, according to police.

The two men ran, but were found near Washington Avenue and First Street, Croy said. The vehicles – described as a white Chevrolet Camaro and a dark Ford pickup – were gone when officers arrived

It wasn’t long after that police learned that someone in a white Camaro dropped off a 19-year-old at Providence Centralia Hospital, and he was being treated for a stab wound to his liver area, according to police.

The 19-year-old patient, formerly of Centralia but now with a Kelso address, was interviewed but refused to cooperate, according to Croy. He told officers he had fallen on a fence, according to police.

A summary of the report said the two men were on foot, but the incident report indicated they were riding bicycles, according to Croy.

The two injured men decided they didn’t want to cooperate either, but detectives will be looking into it further, because of the severity of the situation, Croy said.

    Looks like inner city youth have once again shown their positive commitment to keeping Centralia a fun family tourist destination. Just this event alone puts a warm fuzzy feeling in my body and makes me realize the I-5 freeway project will make it a lot easier for bottle yielding inner city youth and their parents to welcome other unsuspecting victims to our fine medical facilities here in Beautiful Lewis County. Furthermore, after the fine outstanding cut and bleeding night dwellers refused to help our brilliant militarized police agency the investigation continues to dragnet the beautiful homes along the historic Centralia Rail Yard. Just knowing that our local police are on the case lets me sleep with ease at night. Because knowing that our police have no body cameras or patrol car cameras I realize when these fine upstanding citizens are apprehended physical justice will be served long before they reach a Kangaroo court room. So lets not let just one tiny incident spoil your night time drinking habits C Town.
