He was hit in the head with a glass bottle of Modelo and in the back with a wooden club.

Two suspects left, but the other was arrested. Two witnesses said they were asleep, but woke to see the assault. They all know each other, but no one knows what the attack was about.

A woman then appeared from the house and guided deputies upstairs. A man was on the floor face down covered in blood. He had been stabbed with a knife. Blood started squirting out when a green cloth was removed so medics did a tourniquet and that victim passed out. He was intubated and was operated on at St. Michael Medical Center in Silverdale.
