The 41-year-old driver and one pedestrian reportedly sustained injuries. The victim has been treated for injuries near his abdomen, according to reports.

Police said they were able to track down the suspects two days later on April 19 after checking surveillance footage.

The suspects, known to be close friends, claimed to have “aimed at other objects in the distance, but hit the victims by accident,” according to police.
